u/Marbled-Godwit22

I send letters to friends outside of Canada regularly, and I just realized that I mailed at least one letter today where I forgot to include the country name. (The rest of the address and postage is correct.) *facepalm* Was just in a total rush today. I was wondering what usually happens to mail in a situation like this? Is it most likely going to end up lost, or would it get returned to me? My return address is on the envelope.
