How to best make sure that your Canada Day card is received and seen on the day

Although the 1st of July is a day off for most Canadians, it does not necessarily mean that they have a lot of time on the day itself. Preparations and outings are a natural part of the celebration for many. As both you and the recipient might be busy, the best option is to make sure that your card arrives early in the morning, so that the recipient sees it when they first check their email or phone at the beginning of the day.

That does not mean you have to get up early too! Simply schedule your ecard ahead of time to arrive at your chosen time on the 1st of July - don’t forget to select the time according to the time zone of your recipient’s location on the day.

You can schedule your card days, weeks, or months ahead of the day, and relax knowing that your card will automatically be sent as requested on Canada Day!

Are you running a bit last minute this year? No need to panic! An ecard can easily be sent and delivered within minutes - and receiving an ecard later in the day or evening will just mean that the recipient gets to enjoy the celebrations longer, right? Select the option “Send my ecard now” to send your Canada Day card straight away - it is as easy as 123!
