    I lived in the US for two years from 1992 to 1994. I mailed dozens of letters to Canada using a 27 cent stamp, which was the price of a standard, first-class stamp. If 37 cents is the current price of a standard, first-class stamp and nothing has changed in USPS guidelines, then yes you should have no problems sending an envelope to Canada.

    As for the length, it should take 1-3 days to get to the Canada-USA border. Given the size of Canada (the length of Saskatchewan is the lengthen from North Dakota to Texas), however, the remaining time it will take to get to its destination can vary widely. It could take anywhere from an extra day to another week.

    Yes, if you add sufficient postage to it.

    No, you can't. Postage rate for a one ounce letter to Canada is 63 cents effective January 2006. If you try to mail with a 37 cent stamp, it will be returned for additional postage.

    I can't answer for the US Postal service, but I can tell you that I have successfully mailed letters from Canada to points in the US using current Canadian postage. No correspondant has ever complained about being charged additional postage on their end.

    The tricky part I found was if you were requested by your intended recipient in the US to send them a self-addressed, stamped envelope for something they were to return to you, it is difficult to find a US stamp to purchase in Canada. The return envelope must have a US stamp for them to mail it back to you.

    Letters up to one ounce mailed to Canada require 60 cents US postage. Additional ounces (or parts of ounces) up to 8 ounces are 25 cents each. Postage rates for heavier items can be calculated at http://ircalc.usps.gov . The USPS estimates 4-7 day delivery for airmail, but in some instances may take longer than that.

    They used to charge me 0.75 cents per letter at the post offices on the east cost to mail off letters to Ontario or Quebec but now here in Texas they charge $1.75 per letter so I'd rather you take the mail to the post office just to be sure.
