The postal history of Canada falls into four major periods: French control , British control , the Province of Canada and the Dominion of Canada, since 1867.

The earliest  postal service is of couriers in 1705. A regular postal system 1721 . After the The British captured Montreal in 1760, a military postal system that handled letters between Quebec and Montreal, and from Montreal to Albany, New York was established until the peace treaty of 1763  that inaugurated the development of a civilian post. Postmarks had been in use since 1764, Finlay having been introduced to them by Franklin. The earliest markings were town names in a straight line. The first stamps of the province were in the values of 3d, 6d, and 12d. Tthe Threepenny Beaver depicted a beaver in an oval frame, is considered the first Canadian postage stamp.

In the late 1850s, the postal service came out with new values: ˝d, 7˝d, and 10d, the first two depicting Victoria, and the 10d featuring a portrait of Jacques Cartier. The 7˝d was unusual in that it was also denominated "6 Pence Sterling". In 1858 stamps began to be perforated.
The Dominion came into existence July 1, 1867, assembled from colonies each of which had their own stamps, so the new government issued a new series of stamps on April 1, 1868, superseding all previous issues.
In 1897 the American Bank Note Company secured the contract to print stamps for Canada, which lasted until 1923.  Upon the accession of King Edward VII, the basic maple leaf was retained but updated with a portrait of Edward wearing the ermine Robes of State. Canada's first experiments with coil stamps occurred during this period. King George V was depicted in 1911 as Admiral of the Fleet in a widely-admired design that continued in use until 1928. Portrait of Elizabeth II, second try, 1954The first definitive issue for Queen Elizabeth II's reign was based on a portrait by Yusuf Karsh, and was issued on a plain background in five values

From the 1960s on, Canadian stamp policies have favoured issuing a relatively large number of single commemoratives valued at the prevailing first-class rate. Definitive series have tended to be combinations of design types, each applying to a range of values.
In December, 2003 Canada Post issued a new 49 cent definitive stamp bearing the image of the Queen.. A similar redenominated stamp was issued in 2005 as a 50 cent denomination, and a 51 cent denomination in 2006.
