The cost of a Canadian stamp for postage within Canada is $1.07 for a postage stamp for sending a standard-size letter mail of up to 30 grams or up to 5 paper sheets. If you purchase stamps in a coil or booklet, the price drops to $0.92 per stamp. This postal rate is for all standard-size mail items that are shipped within Canada

Canadian postage stamps are used strictly for postage purposes. Some countries, notably Britain, have their stamps inscribed "postage and revenue," thus validating them for both postal and excise use. In Canada special stamps are made available for excise purposes by both federal and provincial governments.
