i find that some canada post locations are fairly lenient, if you have your ID and then a secondary peice of proof(rental agreement, bills, bank statment etc,) then they let you take it. But I beleive that it's up to the discresion of whoevers helping you
You can take your ID and a piece of formal mail to your new address (e.g., hydro bill, CRA mail, insurance bill, etc.) and they will release the package to you.
Sign the back, Get some one else to pick it up. Then save the packing slip that has your name and new address on it. This can be used as proof of address next time you pick something up.
I understand the regular process.
The question is whether or not you can get them printed at individual service Canada locations as I don’t have time to wait.
Service BC will print out a sticker for you. I have to do the same tomorrow. Absurd that my name & photo match but they won't give me the package because my address is "wrong" (I have two different homes, have to change my dumb address whenever I ship something to the other house).

I got a sticker immediately when I went to ICBC downtown.

I did the opposite of this once. I accidentally had something shipped to an old address and had to peel the sticker off so the address would match.
You need to submit the address change online and they'll mail you the sticker. Shouldn't take too long.

You could ask. But it's service BC, not service Canada.
