What this status means
Canada Post has found a problem or doubt with the delivery address on the parcel and is checking it. The parcel is usually at a delivery office or sorting facility in the destination country. Staff are trying to match the address to a valid one, for example by correcting a street name, unit number or postal code.
Is my package delayed?
This message is an exception, not a routine step. It says "possible delay" itself. The same message often appears several times in a row, so seeing it repeated does not mean the parcel is lost. Still, a parcel stuck on it for longer than the previous steps took deserves attention.
What happens next
Most often the message simply repeats while the check continues. Once the address is confirmed or corrected, the parcel usually moves on: it is processed again, arrives at the delivery office, or the expected delivery date is updated. After that it goes out for delivery.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking the tracking history for a new message.
- Compare the address on your order with your real address, including unit number and postal code.
- If it is wrong or incomplete, tell the seller so they can send the correction.
- If the status does not change for longer than usual, contact Canada Post with your tracking number and order details.
