Goodbye Pap Hello Swab

Please Note: The disruption to Canada Post services means we can’t send you mailed reminder letters, result letters and cervix self-screening kits. Results, reminders and cervix self-screening kits will be sent out once postal services resume.

Cervix Screening reminder and result letters can be found on Health Gateway.

Cervix Self-Screening kit ordering is still available. However, your kit will not be mailed to you until postal services resume.

If you have a Cervix Self-Screening kit at home, please wait until after postal services resume to complete your sample and put it in the mail. Or you can drop off your completed kit at lab locations throughout the province.


Cervix self-screening can stop cancer before it develops. It's free and can be done wherever you feel safe and comfortable, such as in your home or at a health care provider’s office. Cervix self-screening is an alternative to the Pap for routine cervical cancer screening. 

If you don’t want to do cervix self-screening, you can still choose to have a Pap test. Talk to a health care provider to discuss cervix screening options and when to screen.

Cervix screening is recommended for anyone with a cervix, including women and Two-Spirit, transgender and non-binary people between the ages of 25 and 69.
