Remarks

To get the courtesy rate quotes for Canada Post's services, call the GetRates method. If rates are needed for a specific service type, set the RequestedService property to the value you need the rates for (other than 0 : stUnspecified). The RequestedService property identifies the specific service for which you want to retrieve rate information.

If the rates are wanted for all available services, set RequestedService to 0 (stUnspecified). The server response will include a list of services, their associated rate, and guaranteed delivery time (if available).

The following properties are applicable:

• CanadaPostAccount (required)
• RequestedService (required)
• SenderAddress (required)
• RecipientAddress (required)
• Packages (required)

If the recipient CountryCode is CA or US, the PostalCode is required.

The Services collection is populated when this method returns.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (GetRatesAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
