In Canada Post's news release yesterday (April 9th), a continuation of a series of stamps will be issued next Monday (April 13th).

I'm guessing that this was a surprise issue even to Canada Post due to the 4 days between announcement and issuance. ('') Perhaps someone was ordered to produce it and then Canada Post forgot all about it until they found that it was all ready to go.
('')

Dino's of Canada, will appear in a ten stamp booklet, a five stamp souvenir sheet and an uncut press sheet.

The RSPC.ORG web site states "(The souvenir sheet and uncut press sheet appear to be self-adhesive; awaiting confirmation)".

If these products do have pressure-sensitive gum, then I believe that will be a "Canadian first" as well as the stamps themselves are all in "3D", another "first".

This is the only image available.

AS only Canada Post issues Canadian stamps I don't see how they wouldn't know about the issue. But it is possible that philatelic branch and / or marketing were asleep at the switch. (no puns about dinosaurs permitted ha!)

Neat. Hope they are embossed too.

Wonder what the souvenir sheet has extra for design on it, and the first day cancel?

All formats are listed at https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/coll...llecting.jsf
It is likely that the stamps on the OFDC will be semi-imperf.

I saw the souvenir sheet and booklet this morning at my local post office.

The stamps on the booklet are highlighted in silver to give a 3D effect.

However, the pressure-sensitive gummed souvenir sheet (with a paper backing) has each die cut stamp, with various heights of embossing, creating a true 3D effect. The souvenir sheet should be popular with the public as it's quite unique.
