Canada is one of the key countries for the Ukrainian diaspora, which numbers hundreds of thousands of people. Given the active demand for parcel and goods delivery between Ukraine and Canada, the Nova Poshta Group, one of the leaders in Ukraine’s logistics market, has officially announced its intention to open branches on Canadian territory.
The company’s decision meets the needs of Ukrainian citizens living, working, or studying in Canada and will also promote the development of trade and social connections between the two countries.
Nova Poshta’s Official Plans for Entering the Canadian Market
According to public information, Nova Poshta plans to start operations in Canada in 2025. The first branches are expected to open in major economic and cultural centers:
- Toronto (Ontario) — as a key city for the Ukrainian community and logistics transit.
- Vancouver (British Columbia) — to ensure convenient transport links in Western Canada.
The launch of branches will allow:
- Fast and reliable delivery of parcels from Canada to Ukraine.
- Optimization of internal logistics within Canada for the needs of the Ukrainian community.
- Development of small business and e-commerce between the two countries.
Current Delivery Options from Canada to Ukraine
Although the first physical branches are still under preparation, Nova Poshta already provides parcel delivery services from Canada to Ukraine through the official NP Shopping platform.
Key service features:
- Delivery time: on average, up to 10 calendar days.
- Cost: starting from 16.5 US dollars for a parcel weighing up to 0.5 kg.
- Order procedure: the user receives a virtual address for shopping on Canadian online platforms (such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart) and can order delivery of goods to Ukraine.
This service is already actively used for:
- Shopping on Canadian marketplaces and online stores.
- Sending personal belongings and gifts to relatives in Ukraine.
- Supporting the commercial activities of small and medium-sized businesses.
Expected Benefits of Opening Nova Poshta Branches in Canada
The opening of physical Nova Poshta branches in Canada will create new opportunities for:
- Optimizing delivery times and costs for international shipments.
- Introducing new logistics products, including door-to-door delivery, group shipments, express delivery.
- Convenient service for the Ukrainian community, taking into account clients’ language and cultural needs.
- Improving service accessibility for businesses that require regular shipments between Canada and Ukraine.
- Establishing local infrastructure, including drop-off and pickup points, information centers, and customer support services.
Conclusions
Nova Poshta’s announced decision to enter the Canadian market is a logical step given:
- Sustained demand for international parcel delivery from the Ukrainian diaspora.
- Growth of trade and economic ties between Ukraine and Canada.
- The need to simplify access to logistics services for Ukrainian citizens temporarily or permanently residing abroad.
The first branches in Toronto and Vancouver are expected to open in 2025, after which the company’s presence will gradually expand geographically.
Ukrainians living in Canada can already use the available services for parcel delivery from Canada to Ukraine, and the opening of physical branches will make this process even more accessible, fast, and convenient.
