So I invite you to contact your hosting company to check with them that such connection is possible. If cURL is not available, or the port 30000 closed, or outgoing connections forbidden by a firewall, your server won't be able to retrieve the rates from CanadaPost. That has nothing to do with HikaShop settings or code and you can't fix the situation by changing something in hikaShop.
