Yes and when some people did just that most were not believed because anyone could type that up as it wasn't on official Canada Post letterhead and one postal clerk laughed at the seller bringing it in - not at the seller but at the pathetic unprofessionalism by Canada Post.

Oddly enough there still is no announcement on the Canada Post newrooms page and they still haven't updated their Postal Guide as it still says in the letterpost section paper only:

Enclosures

Only paper enclosures which meet the requirements for U.S.A. and International Letter-post are acceptable.

But still it's great news that so many complained and Canada Post actually didn't follow through....for now.
