Canada Postal Code

In Canada, the first attempts of the postal service dates back to the year 1693. The immigrant Portuguese Pedro da Silva brought a package or a bundle of letters from Montreal in Quebec against a payment of 20 Sou. In this way, da Silva states as the first courier in Canada, fact also for which was also honored. The stamp that was then released in 2003, was dedicated entirely to him. In 1763, Benjamin Franklin developed the first system of mail for private individuals. After one year from this, he introduced the first stamp.
