Having been through all the challenges with soaking modern US stamps are there any issues with modern Canadian? A forum search brought up a thread from January 2009 and all was still good at that time.

So far good up to 2012 too. All self adhesives soak as well as water activated (licky lick ) stamps

I have not tried to soak the recent Tuertle stamp. Can Anyone confirm it is soakable?

There might be at least one odd exception - the lenticular lens Montreal Canadiens "stamps" were printed in New Zealand, and others I've seen of that type were unsoakable. I got a munched up French soccer or rugby lenticular stamp (can't remember which) also produced in New Zealand, so I tried soaking it - nothing happened, the stamp didn't come off the paper, but the lenticular lens didn't come off the stamp either.

Interesting, I appreciate the replies. Looks like for the most part I can happily soak away.
