Envelope Example

Coding Method

The postal codes in Canada are made up of three numbers and three letters. The first three digits and the last three digits are generally separated by a space. Among the six digits, the first, third, and fifth are letters, and the second, fourth, and sixth are numbers. For example:

The first digits represent the forward sortation area, the last three digits represent the local delivery unit. Generally, the first digit of postal code indicates a province or city.

According to Statistics Canada, about 850,000 postal codes exist in Canada,using Forward Sortation Areas from A0A in Newfoundland to Y1A in Yukon.

Postal codes in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Canadian postal code (French: code postal) is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada. [1] Like British, Irish and Dutch postcodes, Canada’s postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters. As of October 2019, there were 876,445 postal codes [2] using Forward Sortation Areas from A0A in Newfoundland to Y1A in the Yukon.

Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website, [3] via its mobile application, [4] and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs. Many vendors also sell validation tools, which allow customers to properly match addresses and postal codes. Hard-copy directories can also be consulted in all post offices, and some libraries.

When writing out the postal address for a location within Canada, the postal code follows the abbreviation for the province or territory.

The Format of a Canadian Postal Code

A Canadian postal code has six alphanumeric characters. There is a single space after the first three characters.

Example: ANA NAN
where A is a capital letter of the alphabet and N is a number.

The first character in a postal code represents the province, or part of a province, or territory.

The first set of three characters is the Forward Sortation Area or FSA. It provides the basic geographic sorting for mail.

The second set of characters is the Local Delivery Unit or LDU. It could indicate a small rural community or in urban areas a location as specific as an individual building.

The Canadian Postal Code in an Address Label

In address labels, postal codes should be placed on the same line of the address as the name of the municipality and abbreviation of province or territory. The postal code should be separated from the province abbreviation by two spaces.

Example:
NAME OF MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
HOUSE OF COMMONS
OTTAWA ON K1A 0A6
CANADA
(Note: «Canada» is not required for domestic mail)

Handy Uses of Postal Codes

Did You Know?

Here are a few little-known facts about Canadian postal codes.

International Postal Codes

Other countries have similar postal code systems. In the United States, ZIP codes are used. In the United Kingdom, they are called postcodes.

Почта Канады предоставляет на своем веб-сайте бесплатный инструмент для поиска почтового индекса, [3] через мобильное приложение, [4] и продает бумажные каталоги и CD-ROM. Многие поставщики также продают инструменты проверки, которые позволяют клиентам правильно сопоставлять адреса и почтовые индексы. Справочники с бумажными копиями также можно найти во всех почтовых отделениях и в некоторых библиотеках.

При написании почтового адреса для местоположения в Канаде почтовый индекс следует за аббревиатура провинции или территории.

История

Почтовые зоны города

Нумерованные почтовые зоны впервые стали использоваться в Торонто в 1925 г. [5] Почта на адрес Торонто в зоне 5 будет адресована в следующем формате:

По состоянию на 1943 год Торонто был разделен на 14 зон, пронумерованных от 1 до 15, за исключением того, что 7 и 11 не использовались, и была зона 2B. [7]

Почтовые зоны внедрены в Монреаль в 1944 г. [8]

К началу 1960-х годов другие города Канады были разделены на почтовые зоны, в том числе Квебек, Оттава, Виннипег и Ванкувер а также Торонто и Монреаль. [9] Например, адрес в Ванкувере будет выглядеть так:

Однако в конце 1960-х годов почтовое отделение начало внедрять схему трехзначных номеров зон в крупных городах, чтобы заменить существующие одно- и двузначные номера зон, начиная с Монреаля, Торонто и Ванкувера. [10] Например, адрес в столичном Торонто будет иметь следующий адрес:

Перенумерация Торонто вступила в силу 1 мая 1969 года, когда была проведена рекламная кампания под лозунгом «Ваш номер вырос». [12] Однако с приближающимися планами по созданию национальной системы почтовых индексов Генеральный почтмейстер Эрик Киранс объявил, что почтовое отделение начнет отмену новой трехзначной системы городских зон. Компании изменили свой почтовый адрес за свой счет и обнаружили, что новое зонирование оказалось недолговечным. [13]

Планирование

По мере роста крупнейших канадских городов в 1950-х и 1960-х годах объем почты, проходящей через почтовую систему страны, также вырос: до миллиардов отправлений к 1950-м и десятков миллиардов отправлений к середине 1960-х. Следовательно, сотрудникам, разносящим почту, становилось все труднее запоминать и отслеживать все индивидуальные маршруты почтальонов в каждом городе. Новая технология, которая позволяла доставлять почту быстрее, также заставляла этих сотрудников правильно сортировать почту.

Отчет, представленный в Палате общин в 1969 году, касался ожидаемого воздействия «экологических изменений» на работу почтового отделения в течение следующих 25 лет. Ключевая рекомендация заключалась в «создании целевой группы для определения характера автоматизации и механизации, которую почтовое отделение должно принять, что может включать разработку почтового индекса». [14] [15]

В декабре 1969 г. министр связи Эрик Киранс объявил, что будет введен шестизначный почтовый индекс, который заменит трехзначную систему зон. [16] Позже в феврале 1970 года он представил отчет, озаглавленный «Канадская система почтового кодирования для публичных адресов», представленный фирмой Samson, Belair, Simpson, Riddell Inc. [17]

Выполнение

Введение почтового индекса началось с теста в Оттава 1 апреля 1971 г. [18] За кодированием Оттавы последовало развертывание системы на уровне провинции в Манитоба, и система постепенно внедрялась на остальной территории страны с 1972 по 1974 год, хотя общенациональное использование кода к концу 1974 года составляло лишь 38,2%. [19]

Внедрение такой кодовой системы позволило Почте Канады легко ускорить и упростить поток почты в стране, с сортировочными машинами, способными обрабатывать 26 640 предметов в час. [20]

В Канадский союз почтовых рабочих возражали против автоматизированной системы сортировки главным образом потому, что зарплата тех, кто управлял новыми автоматизированными машинами, была намного ниже, чем у тех, кто сортировал почту вручную. [21] Профсоюзы в конечном итоге организовали акции по трудоустройству и кампании по информированию общественности, заявив, что они не хотят, чтобы люди и бизнес использовали почтовые индексы в своей почте. [22] Профсоюз объявил 20 марта 1975 года Национальным днем »бойкота почтового кода», потребовав также сокращения рабочей недели с 40 до 30 часов. [23] Бойкот был отменен в феврале 1976 года. [24]

Одна реклама 1975 года в журнале Торонто Byliner вызвало споры, показывая человека, пишущего почтовый индекс внизу стринги женщина со следующей частушкой:

Рекламу назвали «сексистским мусором» в палата общин к Пнр Депутат Джон Родригес, вызвав извинения от Генеральный почтмейстер Брайс Макэси. [25]

Канада была одной из последних западных стран, внедривших общенациональную систему почтовых индексов. [26]

Компоненты почтового индекса

Области прямой сортировки

Из-за большой численности населения как Квебека, так и Онтарио обе провинции делятся на три и пять почтовых округов, соответственно, и в каждом есть по крайней мере один городской район, настолько густонаселенный, что у него есть специальный почтовый округ («ЧАС» для Монреальский регион, и «M» за Торонто ). С другой стороны, низкая численность населения в Нунавут и Северо-западные территории (СЗТ) означает, что даже после того, как Нунавут отделился от Северо-Западных территорий и стал своей собственной территорией в 1999 году, они продолжают делить почтовый район.

Цифра идентифицирует FSA как городское или сельское. Ноль указывает на обширный сельский район; все остальные цифры указывают на городские районы. Вторая буква представляет собой конкретный сельский регион, целый город среднего размера или часть крупного мегаполиса.

Справочник АФН предоставляется, разделенное на отдельные статьи по почтовым округам. Отдельные списки FSA представлены в табличном формате с номерами (известными как зоны) идет по столу, а вторая буква идет по столу.

В списках FSA указаны все сообщества, входящие в каждую сельскую FSA. В городах среднего размера может быть один специальный FSA; в пределах крупных городов имеется более одного FSA.

Для FSA, охватывающих более одного города, указан город, которому присвоено наибольшее количество кодов в каждом таком FSA. Для городов с небольшим количеством FSA (но более чем одним) в списках указывается относительное расположение каждого FSA в этих городах. Для городов с большим количеством FSA указаны соответствующие районы и районы.

What Is Postal Code and What Is Its Significance?

If you have ever written a postal address, you know that there is a specific code mentioned in the end. But, what is meant by postal code? Such codes represent the geographic areas of addresses and help the concerned postal services deliver mail to them.

They can contain alphabets, numbers, or both. Courier companies and postal organizations use postal codes to sort their mail items in an automated way, speeding up delivery.

With increasing global trade and eCommerce, postal codes have become more important than ever. Hence, you should know what is postal code and how to use it.

Postal codes work differently in every country and they all have their own postal system. In this blog, we will talk about Canadian postal codes, what they represent, and how you can find your postal code.

Postal Codes in Canada

Canadian postal codes contain six characters and form an integral part of postal addresses in Canada. Similar to Dutch, British, and Irish postcodes, they are alphanumeric. These codes are divided into two parts with a space separating them. The format followed is A1A 1A1 with A being an alphabet and 1 being a number.

Postal codes in Canada change at every block and are assigned to all street sides. Even two next-door neighbours might have different postal codes owing to this reason. Businesses that receive a lot of mail every day are likely to have their own postal codes. Hence, there are hundreds of thousands of postal codes all across Canada.

The History of Canada Postal Codes

Introduction of Postal Zones

Numbered postal codes date back to 1925 when they were introduced in Toronto for the first time. For example, if you needed to mail to an address in zone 4, it was written in the below address format:

71 Edgemont Way South

Toronto 4, Ontario

In 1943, Toronto was segmented into 14 zones and numbered from 1 to 15. The numbers 7 and 11 remained unused. In 1944, Montreal also saw the implementation of postal zones.

Later, other Canadian cities were also split into postal zones, inclusive of Vancouver, Ottawa, Quebec, and Winnipeg. The addresses in these cities were also written with one-digit zone codes.

However, in the late 1960s, Canada Post introduced the three-digit code system replacing the earlier one-digit and two-digit zone codes. It was first implemented in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.

Find below an example of an address in Vancouver with this new system:

862 Kinniburgh Blvd

Vancouver 106, Alberta

But, this three-digit zone number scheme was short-lived as Postmaster General Eric Kierans soon announced that they are cancelling it and introducing a new national postal code system.

Planning of the New Postal Code System

Canadian cities started growing in the 1950s and 1960s leading to massive growth in the mail volume passing throughout the country. The volume grew from billions of mail items to tens of billions in no time.

As a result, it became difficult for the postal services to hand-sort mail and remember all the carrier routes within cities. It added a lot of pressure on the employees to get the deliveries completed on time.

In 1969, the House of Commons discussed the potential impact of environmental change on Canada Post’s operations in the next 25 years. It was suggested that the post office should begin using automation and mechanization to deal with the growing mail volume and improve delivery efficiency. And that’s when the postal code design was first talked about.

Finally, Eric Keirancs announced the introduction of a six-digit postal code system in December 1969. This system completely replaced the three-digit zone number system. Later in February 1970, he tabled a report named “A Canadian Public Address Postal Coding System” put forward by Samson, Belair, Simpson, Riddell Inc.

Implementation

Before introducing the postal code system nationwide, it was first tested on 1st April 1974 in Ottawa. It was then accompanied by a provincial-level rollout in Manitoba.

The system was then gradually implemented in the remaining provinces and territories between 1972 and 1974. However, the use of this new system was still 38.2% by the time 1974 ended.

It helped Canada Post handle around 26,640 items per hour using sorting machines. The organization was now able to complete deliveries in less time and in a more efficient manner.

Eventually, companies also found it easier to complete orders on time and expand their operations.

But, the system got a strong pushback from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. The reason was that workers who still sorted mail by hand received more wages than those who ran the automated mail machines.

The Union also declared a National “Boycott the Postal Code” Day on 20th March 1975 which did not go for long enough.

The boycott was struck off in 1976, and the Canadian postal code system was fully implemented in the country by then. It was among the last code systems to be implemented in the West.

Components of Canadian Postal Codes

Now that you know the history, it is important to understand its components. You can refer to the image below for a better understanding:

Forward Sortation Areas (FSAs)

FSAs make the first part of the Canadian postal code format. Basically, a forward sortation area is a region wherein all postal codes begin with the same three characters. For example, M4B in Toronto covers at least 600 geographical areas. All of these areas come under the same FSA.

The first character (an alphabet) of the FSA code indicates specific “postal districts,” which cover an entire province or territory. However, Quebec and Ontario are divided into several postal districts as they are large provinces.

Quebec has a total of three postal districts, while Ontario has five. Both of these provinces have at least one very populous urban area to have a dedicated postal district (“M” for Toronto and “H” for Montreal).

On the other hand, some places with low populations shared postal districts. For example, the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Nunavut continue to share the same postal district even after their separation in 1999.

Coming the second character (a number) of the FSA, it primarily identifies areas as urban or rural. All rural regions have the number 0, whereas all other numbers denote urban regions.

The third character (an alphabet again), in combination with the other two characters, identifies a more accurate geographical district. It represents a section of a large metropolitan area, a medium-sized city, or a particular rural region.

Local Delivery Units (LDUs)

The last three characters of the postal code stand for an LDU which may denote a single address or a group of addresses.

An LDU can correspond to:

As you can see, even single places or small units of these places can have LDU codes. So, it is not surprising that Canada has hundreds of thousands of LDUs.

The LDU code 9Z9 is exclusively assigned for Business Reply Mail. All LDU codes ending in zero are assigned to postal facilities including sortation plants, small post offices, and retail postal outlets.

Note that postal codes use only 20 alphabets; the alphabets D, F, I, O, Q, and U are never included.

Canada Postal Code

3. Pick up by the courier!

In Canada, the first attempts of the postal service dates back to the year 1693. The immigrant Portuguese Pedro da Silva brought a package or a bundle of letters from Montreal in Quebec against a payment of 20 Sou. In this way, da Silva states as the first courier in Canada, fact also for which was also honored. The stamp that was then released in 2003, was dedicated entirely to him. In 1763, Benjamin Franklin developed the first system of mail for private individuals. After one year from this, he introduced the first stamp.
The Canadian postal code are called in the local language Postal Code or Code Postal. They correspond to the following diagram: A0A 0A0. “A” stays for a letter and “0“for a digit.

The system

The first letter defines the region parting from the west and going straight to the east. The letters, in alphabetic order, correspond to the following regions:

A Terranova
B Nova Scotia
C Prince Edward Islanda
E New Brunswick
G Québec East
H Montreal e Laval
J West Québec
K Ontario-East
L Ontario Center
M Greater Toronto
N West Ontario
P Northern Ontario
R Manitoba
S Saskatchewan
T Alberta
V British Columbia
X Northwest Territories, Nunavut
Y Yukon

Some letters have not been assigned because of the great risk of confusion. Secondly, large cities have the numbers from one to nine. Other rural areas have a zero at this point.
The letter that is in the third place, for urban areas, represents the precise district and for the rural areas, represents the fraction for precise delivery.
The second part of the postal codes are specific to cities and refers for example to the block, the company or authority. In rural areas, post offices are usually in alphabetical order.
The letters D, F, I, O, Q and U are never used in postal codes.

Canadian Postal Code OM Database

Postal Code List

What is a Postal Code OM Database?

The Lat/Lon coverage is approximately 99%. The latitude/longitude data for Postal Codes comes from a crowd sourced system. Canada Post does not release this data and therefore there are no official coordinates for these postal codes directly from the source. There will be some inaccuracies in the data but it is the best data available while keeping the cost of the database reasonable. As mistakes are found, they are corrected daily from the crowd sourcing.

Do you have 3-digit postal codes?

Yes and no. Our database contains every 6 character Postal Code as maintained by Canada Post.

The first 3 characters of a Canadian Postal Code are known as the FSA (Forward Sortation Area). The FSA is a geographical unit where all postal codes within that FSA are nearby.

K1A is an example of an FSA, which is a letter followed by a number and then another letter. The first character indicates the province the FSA is in. The number in the FSA indicates whether an FSA is based in a rural or urban area. A 0 is used for rural areas (where it covers more actual land area), while all other numbers indicate an urban area. The second letter is also indicative of the coverage area and can represent a rural region, entire medium sized city, or a section of a major metropolitan area.

ZIP-Codes.com does not maintain a list dedicated for listing all FSA’s, but the 3 character FSA is provided as a column for each record in the full Postal Code Database.

Why is this postal code missing from your database?

Canadian Postal Codes typically represent a limited number of delivery points (a few houses, or several roads in more rural areas). As areas grow or shrink in population and mail delivery, Canada Post will adjust the Postal Codes and which delivery points they service. It is quite common for several Postal Codes to either change or be retired each month.

If you have a Postal Code that you feel should be in the database but is not, it is very likely that Canada Post has since changed or retired it. You can verify the correct Postal Code for a specific address using the Canada Post Find a Postal Code Tool. If you still feel a missing Postal Code should be include, please contact us so we can verify with Canada Post.

Do you have a file showing only the changes for the month?

Unfortunately, no. There is no file showing either a percentage of changes nor listing only the records which have changed. Canada Post does not provide this kind of reference file and only publishes a complete list of Postal Codes every month.

What is the ZIP code of Canada List of All States 2022?

Canadian postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, which is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada where A is a letter and 1 is a digit. Canada doesn’t have zip codes as the USA does. Canada uses postal codes similar to this one ( T6X 0Z4). The first letter indicates the province, i.e. tells us that it is in Alberta.

Each subsequent number and letter narrows the area down to a city or town and so on to a street and building. A is for Newfoundland going all the way to Z for parts of British Columbia. A ZIP code is an internal code for regions served by the US Postal Service. It has nothing to do with any other country and no country has a “Zipcode”.

Anyone on the planet who has ever mailed a letter should know that most countries have some type of code to assist in the sorting of mail for faster delivery so why someone is asking this question is a mystery.

A Canadian postal code is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada. Like British, Irish, and Dutch postcodes, Canada’s postal codes are alphanumeric.

What is the ZIP code of Canada List of All States 2022?

They are in the format A1A 1A1, where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters. As of October 2019, there were 876,445 postal codes using Forward Sortation Areas from A0A in Newfoundland to Y1A in the Yukon.

Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website, via its mobile application, and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs.

What is the ZIP code of Canada List of All States 2022?

The OP is M Anonymous. That is the code for a bored high school kid or a state-sponsored troll. Figures. I’m assuming you are asking what the equivalent of the US Zipcode system is in Canada. A Canadian Postal code is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada. Like British, Irish, and Dutch postcodes, Canada’s Postal codes are alphanumeric, consisting of both letters and digits. Canadian ZIP codes are in the XNX NXN format.

As others have answered the system Canada uses to efficiently sort mail for delivery to the right locality/address is called a Postal Code.

It is a combination of letters and numbers that more finely describe where the mail is to be delivered. For example, a single US Zip Code often covers more than 100,000 addresses (an example is 75082 for all of Richardson, Texas).

A Canadian Postal Code generally covers only one side of one residential street.

Do you think an entire country shares a zip code?

Of course, it has none per se, Canada uses “postal codes”, and there are a few million postal codes within Canada.

What is my 5-digit zip code in Canada?

What is my 5-digit zip code in Canada? If you are prompted for your ZIP code, simply enter your three-digit ZIP code plus two zeros. So for example, if your zip code is A2B 3C4, the 5-digit number you need to enter is 23400.

What is the ZIP code of Canada?

Like British, Irish, and Dutch postcodes, Canada’s postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters. Generally, a Canadian postal code defines one “block face”, being one side of a street, one block long.

You do not need a “zip code” when sending mail outside the U.S.A., the country name is sufficient to get it to that country. But, in large countries like Canada, for efficient delivery, you generally need to put on their postal code, whatever its local nickname may be.

Canada has its own postal system called, wait for it, postal codes! Amazingly it’s modeled on the British system and much more flexible than (read better) zip codes. Zipcodes only allow for less than 100,000 addresses whereas postal codes allow for millions.

Are there postal codes in Canada?

Canadian postal codes are in XNX NXN format. In this format, X is a letter and N is a digit, and there is a space separating the third and fourth characters. There are some additional exceptions and restrictions for postal codes in Canada.

City postal zones

Numbered postal zones were first used in Toronto in 1925. Mail to a Toronto address in zone 5 would be addressed in this format:

37 Bloor Street West
Toronto 5, Ontario

As of 1943, Toronto was divided into 14 zones, numbered from 1 to 15, except that 7 and 11 were unused, and there was a 2B zone. Postal zones were implemented in Montreal in 1944.

By the early 1960s, other cities in Canada had been divided into postal zones, including Quebec, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Vancouver as well as Toronto and Montreal. For example, an address in Vancouver would be addressed as:

804 Robson Street,
Vancouver 1, B.C.

In the late 1960s, however, the Post Office began implementing a three-digit zone number scheme in major cities to replace existing one- and two-digit zone numbers, starting in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. For example, an address in Metropolitan Toronto would be addressed as:

1253 Bay Street
Toronto 185, Ontario

Toronto’s renumbering took effect 1 May 1969, accompanied by an advertising campaign under the slogan “Your number is up”.

However, with impending plans for a national postal code system, Postmaster General Eric Kierans announced that the Post Office would begin canceling the new three-digit city zone system.

Companies changed their mail addressing at their own expense, only to find the new zoning would prove to be short-lived.

Does Toronto have zip codes?

Postal codes beginning with M (except M0R and M7R) are located in the city of Toronto in the province of Ontario. Only the first three characters are listed, corresponding to the forward sort field. Many vendors also sell validation tools, which allow customers to correctly match addresses and postal codes.

Using Canadian Postal Codes

In most areas of Canada, Commercial Estimator localizes costs using Local Multipliers based on the Postal Codes (see the Postal Code ranges listed below). However, Commercial Estimator does not have Local Multipliers for all Postal Codes in Canada.

In areas outside of the Postal Code ranges listed below, you can enter one of the following standard Province and Territory Symbols to localize the costs using the Province or Territory average Local Multiplier:

BC British Columbia

NB New Brunswick

NT Northwest Territories

PE Prince Edward Island

The following list contains the Postal Code ranges for Commercial Estimators as Local Multipliers in Canada. You can enter any Postal Code within a range. For example, in the first range, you can enter A0A0A0, A0B6F2, or A0C9Z9. If the Postal Code of the building is not in one of the ranges below, you can use one of the Province/Territory Symbols listed above.

Random Postal Codes

What is the zip code for Toronto, Canada?

Being in Canada as opposed to the United States, we have postal codes as opposed to zip codes (more or less the same thing in their use), which use three letters and three numbers, (letter-number-letter number-letter-number) as opposed to five numbers in a zip code.

Because of Toronto’s size as a city, as well as how much area, the Greater Toronto Area covers, regionally (if I’m remembering correctly, the ‘letter-number-letter’ first half of the postal code is assigned based on proximity to a mail depot) and even in a relatively small chunk of ‘core Toronto’ two address’ postal codes will often be different. Sometimes side-by-side neighbors will have two different postal codes, however, minor the difference.

Short answer: Toronto doesn’t have a single postal code. The only similarity the GTA’s postal codes all seem to share is that they begin with the letter ’M’ (then the other five letters and numbers) which I assume was originally an arbitrary reference to ‘Metro’ (as in Metro Toronto) which otherwise meant very little, although I have no concrete certainty that said similarity was intentional or why it was, if so.

There are about 150 of what Canada Post refers to as forwarding Sortation Area codes in Toronto. The ones I’ve lived in include M4J, M6G, M6N, and M6S, corresponding to the first three characters of the postal code.

The second set of three, numeric-alpha-numeric, corresponds to specific postal delivery zones and can sometimes narrow down an area to one specific side or block of a street, depending on population density.

Dubai Postal Code 2022

Canada calls its system postal codes, as others have noted it’s a combination of letters and numbers that can be specific down to an individual location in some cases.

ZIP code of Canada

One interesting thing is you can tell by looking at the postal code if an address is in Toronto, all postal addresses in Toronto (and only in Toronto) have a postal code starting with M, so if you see a postal code that starts with L or any other letter of the alphabet, you can be sure that that address is not within the formally defined City of Toronto boundaries.

Postal codes are assigned to each side of a street and change every block. And anyone who gets more than some threshold number of pieces of mail each day gets his own code (I forget what that threshold number is, but it’s low—-suffice to say many or most businesses qualify). So, there are thousands of postal codes. (The Toronto ones all start with “M”.)

What is my 5 digit zip code in Canada?

What Is My 5 Digit Zip Code Canada? If prompted for your ZIP code, just enter the three digits of your postal code plus two zeros. So for example, if your postal code is A2B 3C4, the 5-digit number you should enter is 23400.

How many zip codes are in Canada?

850,000 postal codes Canadian postal codes are comprised of six characters and allow for mail to be mechanically, and manually, sorted for easier mail delivery to specific geographic locations. Currently, there are approximately 850,000 postal codes in Canada with an average of 14 households in each.

What is a 5 digit zip?

A ZIP+4 code uses the basic five-digit code plus four additional digits to identify a geographic segment within the five–digit delivery area, such as a city block, a street or an office building, a post office box, or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery.

Canadian postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, which is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada where A is a letter and 1 is a digit. A Canadian postal code is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada.

History

City postal zones

Numbered postal zones were used in certain Canadian cities by the 1940s. Mail to a Toronto address in zone 5 would be addressed in this format:

:Firstname Lastname:9999 Streetname Avenue:Toronto 5, Ontario

As of 1943, the City of Toronto was divided into 14 zones, numbered from 1 to 15, except that 7 and 11 were unused, and there was a 2B zone. [cite news | title=Urge citizens include zones in addressesWould Speed Delivery of Mail, Postoffice Department Contends | date=26 August 1943 | publisher= The Globe and Mail | page=4 ]

With impending plans for a national postal code system, Postmaster General Eric Kierans announced that the Post Office would begin cancelling the new 3-digit city zone system. Companies changed their mail addressing at their own expense only to find the new zoning would prove to be short-lived. [cite news | title=Costs of postal zone changes hit some companies second time | date=4 June 1969 | first=Terrence | last=Belford | page=B4 | publisher= The Globe and Mail ]

Planning

As the largest Canadian cities were growing in the 1950s and 1960s, the volumes of mail passing through the country’s postal system also grew, reaching billions by the 1950s, and tens of billions by the mid 1960s. Consequently, it was becoming progressively more difficult for employees who hand-sorted mail to memorize and keep track of all the individual letter carrier routes within each city. New technology that allowed mail to be delivered at a faster speed also contributed to the pressure for these employees to properly sort the mail. Canada was one of the last Western countries to get a nationwide postal code system. [cite news

A key recommendation was the «establishment of a task force to determine the nature of the automation and mechanization the Post Office should adopt, which might include design of a postal code».

Implementation

The introduction of such a code system allowed Canada Post to easily speed up, as well as simplify, the flow of mail in the country. However, when the automated sorting system was initially conceived, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and other relevant unions objected to it, mainly because the wages of those who ran the new automated machines were much lower than those who had hand-sorted mail. The unions ended up staging job action and public information campaigns, with the message that they did not want people and business to use postal codes on their mail. 20 March 1974 was declared «boycott the postal code day» and the union promised that letters without postal codes would be given preferential service. [cite news
title=For good service, do not use code, postal union says
page=A1
first=Wilfred
last=List
publisher= The Globe and Mail
date=13 March 1975 ] Eventually the unions started being compensated once the automated system was put into use and eventually generating significant revenue for Canada Post. The boycott was called off in February 1976. [cite news
title=Postal union ends boycott of code system

Today, mail without a postal code is very uncommon, though it will usually still reach its intended destination.

The FSA lists specify one representative community located within each rural FSA. Medium-sized cities may have one dedicated FSA, while larger cities have more than one FSA within their limits. For FSAs that span more than one city, the city which is allocated the most codes in each such FSA is listed. For cities with a small number of FSAs (but more than one), the lists specify the relative location of each FSA in those cities. For cities with a large number of FSAs, applicable neighbourhoods and boroughs are specified.

Local delivery units

LDU 9Z0 refers to large regional distribution centre facilities, and is also used as a placeholder, appearing in some regional postmarks such as the «K0H 9Z0» on purely-local mail within the Kingston, Ontario area.

How many postal codes are possible?

No postal code includes the letters D, F, I, O, Q, or U, as the OCR equipment used in automated sorting could easily confuse them with other letters and digits, especially when they are rendered as cursive handwriting. The letters W and Z are used, but are not currently used as the first letter. This scheme allows for a maximum 3,600 FSAs: with 2,000 possible LDUs in each FSA, there is a theoretical maximum of 7.2 million codes. The practical maximum is a bit lower, as Canada Post reserves some FSAs for special functions, such as for test or promotional purposes, as well as for sorting mail bound for destinations outside Canada. The current Statistics Canada estimate of over 850,000 active postal codes represents about 12% of the entire postal code «space», leaving more than ample room for expansion.

История

Почтовые зоны города

Нумерованные почтовые зоны были впервые использованы в Торонто в 1925 году. Почта на адрес Торонто в зоне 5 будет адресована в следующем формате:

По состоянию на 1943 год Торонто был разделен на 14 зон, пронумерованных от 1 до 15, за исключением того, что 7 и 11 не использовались, и была зона 2B.

Почтовые зоны были введены в Монреале в 1944 году.

Однако в конце 1960-х годов почтовое отделение начало внедрять схему трехзначных номеров зон в крупных городах, чтобы заменить существующие одно- и двузначные номера зон, начиная с Монреаля, Торонто и Ванкувера. Например, адрес в столичном Торонто будет иметь следующий адрес:

Перенумерация Торонто вступила в силу 1 мая 1969 года, когда была проведена рекламная кампания под лозунгом «Ваш номер увеличился». Однако с приближающимися планами по созданию национальной системы почтовых индексов генеральный почтмейстер Эрик Киранс объявил, что почтовое отделение начнет отмену новой трехзначной системы городских зон. Компании изменили свой почтовый адрес за свой счет и обнаружили, что новое зонирование оказалось недолговечным.

Планирование

По мере роста крупнейших канадских городов в 1950-х и 1960-х годах объем почты, проходящей через почтовую систему страны, также вырос до миллиардов отправлений к 1950-м годам и десятков миллиардов отправлений к середине 1960-х годов. Следовательно, сотрудникам, разносящим почту, становилось все труднее запоминать и отслеживать все отдельные маршруты почтовых отправителей в каждом городе. Новая технология, которая позволяла доставлять почту быстрее, также заставляла этих сотрудников правильно сортировать почту.

В отчете, представленном в Палате общин в 1969 году, говорится об ожидаемом воздействии «экологических изменений» на работу почтового отделения в течение следующих 25 лет. Ключевой рекомендацией было «создание целевой группы для определения характера автоматизации и механизации, которую почтовое отделение должно принять, что может включать разработку почтового индекса».

В декабре 1969 года министр связи Эрик Киранс объявил, что будет введен шестизначный почтовый индекс, который заменит трехзначную систему зон. Позже в феврале 1970 года он представил отчет, озаглавленный «Канадская система почтового кодирования для публичных адресов», представленный фирмой Samson, Belair, Simpson, Riddell Inc.

Реализация

Внедрение такой системы кодирования позволило Почте Канады легко ускорить и упростить поток почты в стране, с сортировочными машинами, способными обрабатывать 26 640 предметов в час.

Одна реклама 1975 года в журнале Торонто Byliner вызвала споры, показывая мужчину, написавшего почтовый индекс на попе женщины в стрингах со следующей частушкой:

Канада была одной из последних западных стран, внедривших общенациональную систему почтовых индексов.

Компоненты почтового индекса

Области прямой сортировки

Цифра идентифицирует FSA как городское или сельское. Ноль указывает на обширный сельский регион (или, в редких случаях, код специального назначения); все остальные цифры указывают на городские районы. Вторая буква представляет собой конкретный сельский регион, целый город среднего размера или часть крупного мегаполиса.

В списках FSA указаны все сообщества, входящие в состав каждого сельского FSA. В средних городах может быть один специальный FSA; в более крупных городах имеется более одного FSA в пределах своих границ.

Для FSA, охватывающих более одного города, указан город, которому присвоено наибольшее количество кодов в каждом таком FSA. Для городов с небольшим количеством FSA (но более одного) в списках указывается относительное расположение каждого FSA в этих городах. Для городов с большим количеством FSA указаны соответствующие районы и районы.

Таблица всех почтовых индексов

Все почтовые индексы Канады перечислены по следующим ссылкам, отсортированные по первой букве.

Местные подразделения доставки

Последние три символа обозначают локальную единицу доставки (LDU). LDU обозначает конкретный единый адрес или диапазон адресов, который может соответствовать целому небольшому городу, значительной части города среднего размера, одной стороне квартала в больших городах, одному большому зданию или части очень крупное учреждение, отдельное (большое) учреждение, такое как университет или больница, или предприятие, которое регулярно получает большие объемы почты.

Количество возможных почтовых индексов

В почтовых индексах используются 20 заглавных букв английского алфавита ; они не включают буквы D, F, I, O, Q или U. В первой позиции также не используются буквы W или Z. Это означает, что максимальное количество доступных FSA составляет 18 × 10 × 20 = 3600. При 10 × 20 × 10 = 2000 возможных LDU в каждом FSA теоретический предел составляет 7,2 миллиона почтовых индексов. Практический предел немного ниже, поскольку Почта Канады резервирует некоторые FSA для специальных функций, таких как тестовые или рекламные цели (например, H0H 0H0 для Санта-Клауса, см. Ниже ), а также для сортировки почты, предназначенной для пунктов назначения за пределами Канады. По текущим оценкам Статистического управления Канады, количество активных почтовых индексов превышает 830 000, что составляет около 12% всего «пространства» почтовых индексов, что оставляет достаточно места для расширения. Однако в отношении FSA остается меньше возможностей. В частности, по состоянию на 2021 год только пять FSA останутся неиспользованными в Британской Колумбии: V3P, V4H, V4J, V4Y и V8H.

Урбанизация

Дед Мороз

Приблизительно 1 000 000 писем отправляются Санта-Клаусу каждое Рождество, в том числе некоторые из них исходят из-за пределов Канады, и все они получают ответы на том же языке, на котором они написаны. Почта Канады ввела специальный адрес для почты Деду Морозу с собственным почтовым индексом:

САНТА-КЛАУС
СЕВЕРНЫЙ ПОЛЮС H0H 0H0
КАНАДА

На французском языке имя Санты Пер Ноэль переводится как «Дед Мороз», а почта адресована:

PÈRE NOËL
PÔLE NORD H0H 0H0
КАНАДА

Почтовый индекс H0H 0H0 был выбран для этого особого сезонного использования, так как он читается как « Хо-хо-хо ».

Пункты перехода в почтовую службу канадских вооруженных сил

Для передачи почты от гражданских лиц Почтовой службе Канадских вооруженных сил используются почтовые индексы трех военных почтовых отделений на территории Канады, в зависимости от конечного пункта назначения.

Каждый из этих почтовых индексов представляет собой ряд военных почтовых отделений за границей, которые указываются не почтовым индексом, а номером CFPO или FMO. LDU в данном случае соответствуют не столько физическому, сколько виртуальному устройству доставки, поскольку почта доставляется не на месте, а пересылается в фактические подразделения доставки на канадских военных базах и кораблях за рубежом.

Postal codes in Canada

When writing out the postal address for a location within Canada, the postal code follows the abbreviation for the province or territory.

History

City postal zones

Numbered postal zones were first used in Toronto in 1925. [5] Mail to a Toronto address in zone 5 would be addressed in this format:

As of 1943, Toronto was divided into 14 zones, numbered from 1 to 15, except that 7 and 11 were unused, and there was a 2B zone. [7]

Postal zones were implemented in Montreal in 1944. [8]

By the early 1960s, other cities in Canada had been divided into postal zones, including Quebec, Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver as well as Toronto and Montreal. [9] For example, an address in Vancouver would be addressed as:

In the late 1960s, however, the Post Office began implementing a three-digit zone number scheme in major cities to replace existing one- and two-digit zone numbers, starting in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. [10] For example, an address in Metropolitan Toronto would be addressed as:

Toronto’s renumbering took effect 1 May 1969, accompanied by an advertising campaign under the slogan «Your number is up». [12] However, with impending plans for a national postal code system, Postmaster General Eric Kierans announced that the Post Office would begin cancelling the new three-digit city zone system. Companies changed their mail addressing at their own expense, only to find the new zoning would prove to be short-lived. [13]

Planning

As the largest Canadian cities grew in the 1950s and 1960s, the volume of mail passing through the country’s postal system also grew, to billions of items by the 1950s and tens of billions of items by the mid-1960s. Consequently, it became progressively more difficult for employees who handsorted mail to memorize and keep track of all the individual letter-carrier routes within each city. New technology that allowed mail to be delivered faster also contributed to the pressure for these employees to properly sort the mail.

A report tabled in the House of Commons in 1969 dealt with the expected impact of «environmental change» on the Post Office operations over the following 25 years. A key recommendation was the «establishment of a task force to determine the nature of the automation and mechanization the Post Office should adopt, which might include design of a postal code». [14] [15]

In December 1969, Communications Minister Eric Kierans announced that a six-character postal code would be introduced, superseding the three-digit zone system. [16] He later tabled a report in February 1970, entitled «A Canadian Public Address Postal Coding System», submitted by the firm of Samson, Belair, Simpson, Riddell Inc. [17]

Implementation

The introduction of the postal code began with a test in Ottawa on 1 April 1971. [18] Coding of Ottawa was followed by a provincial-level rollout of the system in Manitoba, and the system was gradually implemented in the rest of the country from 1972 to 1974, although the nationwide use of the code by the end of 1974 was only 38.2 per cent. [19]

The introduction of such a code system allowed Canada Post to easily speed up and simplify the flow of mail in the country, with sorting machines being able to handle 26,640 objects an hour. [20]

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers objected to the automated sorting system mainly because the wages of those who ran the new automated machines were much lower than those who had hand-sorted mail. [21] The unions ended up staging job action and public information campaigns, with the message that they did not want people and business to use postal codes on their mail. [22] The union declared 20 March 1975 National «Boycott the Postal Code» Day, also demanding a reduction in the work week from 40 to 30 hours. [23] The boycott was called off in February 1976. [24]

One 1975 advertisement in the Toronto magazine Byliner generated controversy by showing a man writing a postal code on the bottom of a thonged woman with the following ditty:

«We’re not ‘stringing’ you along,
Use postal codes – you’ll ‘thing our ‘thong’,
Don’t be cheeky – you’ve all got ’em
Please include them on the bottom.» [25]

The advertisement was denounced as «sexist garbage» in the House of Commons by NDP MP John Rodriguez, prompting an apology from Postmaster General Bryce Mackasey. [25]

Canada was one of the last Western countries to implement a nationwide postal code system. [26]

Components of a postal code

Forward sortation areas

A forward sortation area (FSA) is a geographical region in which all postal codes start with the same three characters. [27] The first letter of an FSA code denotes a particular «postal district», which, outside Quebec and Ontario, corresponds to an entire province or territory.

The large populations of both Quebec and Ontario cause both provinces to be subdivided into three and five postal districts, respectively, and each has at least one urban area so populous that it has a dedicated postal district (» H» for the Montreal region, and » M» for Toronto). On the other hand, the low populations in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories (NWT) mean that even after Nunavut separated from the Northwest Territories and became its own territory in 1999, they continue to share a postal district.

The digit identifies the FSA as urban or rural. A zero indicates a wide-area rural region (or, in rare instances, a special-purpose code); [28] [29] all other digits indicate urban areas. The second letter represents a specific rural region, an entire medium-sized city, or a section of a major metropolitan area. In the extreme case, some FSAs in downtown Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are assigned to individual buildings. Rural FSAs also vary widely in population, with the Northwest Territories’ X0G covering only the hamlet of Fort Liard, but adjoining X0E covering every other community in the territory except Yellowknife.

A directory of FSAs is provided, divided into separate articles by postal district. Individual FSA lists are in a tabular format, with the numbers (known as zones) going across the table and the second letter going down the table.

The FSA lists specify all communities covered by each rural FSA. Medium-sized cities may have one dedicated FSA; larger cities have more than one FSA within their limits.

For FSAs spanning more than one city, the city which is allocated the most codes in each such FSA is listed. For cities with a small number of FSAs (but more than one), the lists specify the relative location of each FSA in those cities. For cities with a large number of FSAs, applicable neighbourhoods and boroughs are specified.

Table of all postal codes

All Canadian postal codes are listed in the following links, organized by first letter.

Local delivery units

The last three characters denote a local delivery unit (LDU). [1] An LDU denotes a specific single address or range of addresses, which can correspond to an entire small town, a significant part of a medium-sized town, a single side of a city block in larger cities, a single large building or a portion of a very large one, a single (large) institution such as a university or a hospital, or a business that receives large volumes of mail on a regular basis.

LDUs ending in zero correspond to postal facilities, from post offices and small franchised retail postal outlets all the way up to sortation plants. In urban areas, LDUs may be specific postal carriers’ routes. In rural areas where direct door-to-door delivery is not available, an LDU can describe a set of post office boxes or a rural route. LDU 9Z9 is used exclusively for Business Reply Mail. In rural FSAs, the first two characters are usually assigned in alphanumerical order by the name of each community.

LDU 9Z0 refers to large regional distribution centre facilities, and is also used as a placeholder, appearing in some regional postmarks such as the «K0H 9Z0» which formerly appeared on purely local mail within the Kingston, Ontario, area.

Number of possible postal codes

Postal codes use 20 uppercase letters of the English alphabet; they do not include the letters D, F, I, O, Q or U. The first position also does not make use of the letters W or Z. This means the maximum number of FSAs available is 18×10×20 = 3,600. With 10×20×10 = 2,000 possible LDUs in each FSA, there is a theoretical limit of 7.2 million postal codes. The practical limit is a bit lower, as Canada Post reserves some FSAs for special functions, such as for test or promotional purposes, (e.g. the H0H 0H0 for Santa Claus, see below) as well as for sorting mail bound for destinations outside Canada. The current Statistics Canada estimate of over 830,000 active postal codes [30] represents about 12% of the entire postal code «space», leaving ample room for expansion. There is less room with regard to FSAs, however. In particular as of 2021, only five FSAs remain unused in British Columbia: V3P, V4H, V4J, V4Y and V8H.

Urbanization

«Urbanization» is the name Canada Post uses to refer to the process where it replaces a rural postal code (a code with a zero as its second character) with urban postal codes. [31] The vacated rural postal code can then be assigned to another community or retired. Canada Post decides when to urbanize a certain community when its population reaches a certain level, though different factors may also be involved.

For example, in early 2008, the postal code G0N 3M0 (covering Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Fossambault-sur-le-Lac and Lac-Saint-Joseph, Quebec) was urbanized to postal codes beginning with G3N to remove ambiguities and confusions caused by similar street names. [32] Unique among province-wide districts, New Brunswick (postal district E) is completely urbanized, its rural codes having been phased out.

Santa Claus

In 1974, staff at a Canada Post office in Montreal were noticing a considerable number of letters addressed to Santa Claus entering the postal system, and those letters were being treated as undeliverable. Since employees handling those letters did not want the writers (mostly young children) to be disappointed at the lack of response, they started answering the letters themselves. [33]

The amount of mail sent to Santa Claus increased every Christmas, to the point that Canada Post established an official Santa Claus letter-response program in 1983. By 2011, Santa’s mail was being handled with the assistance of 11,000 volunteers, mostly current or former postal workers, [34] at multiple locations across Canada [35] [36] devoting an average of twenty-one hours to this seasonal task.

Approximately 1,000,000 letters are addressed to Santa Claus each Christmas, including some originating outside Canada, and all of them are answered in the same language in which they are written. [37] Canada Post introduced a special address for mail to Santa Claus, complete with its own postal code: [38]

SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE H0H 0H0
CANADA

PÈRE NOËL
PÔLE NORD H0H 0H0
CANADA

The postal code H0H 0H0 was chosen for this special seasonal use as it reads «Ho ho ho». [39]

The H0- prefix is an anomaly: the 0 indicates a rural delivery zone, but H is used to designate Montreal, the second-largest city in Canada. As such, the H0- prefix is almost completely empty. H0M, assigned to the international Akwesasne tribal reserve on the Canada–US border, is the only other H0- postal code in active use.

In 2013, Santa was dragged into the ongoing Arctic sovereignty debate to support Canadian territorial claims extending to the North Pole. In response to attacks from Conservative MP Paul Calandra, parliamentary secretary to then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau, at the time leader of the third-party Liberals, stated «Everyone knows that Santa Claus is Canadian. His postal code is H0H 0H0.» [40]

Transition points to the Canadian Forces Postal Service

For transition of mail from the civilian to the Canadian Forces Postal Service, the postal codes of the three military post offices on Canadian soil are used, depending on the final destination.

These postal codes each represent a number of military post offices abroad, which are specified not by postal code but by CFPO or FMO number. The LDUs in this case corresponding not so much to a physical as to a virtual delivery unit since mail is not delivered locally but is forwarded to the actual delivery units at Canadian military bases and ships abroad.

In this example, Canada Post will deliver to the CFPO at Belleville and the Canadian Forces Postal System will continue transport to the addressee at CFPO 5053 (in Geilenkirchen, Germany) [42] by whatever means and timing the military will deem appropriate. [43]

Alternative uses

Postal codes can be correlated with databased information from censuses or health registries to create a geographic profile of an area’s population. For instance, postal codes have been used to compare children’s risk of developing cancer. [44]

As Canadian electoral districts frequently follow postal code areas, citizens can identify their local elected representative using their postal code. Provincial and federal government websites offer an online «look-up» feature based on postal codes. [45] Although A1A 1A1 [46] is sometimes displayed as a generic code for this purpose, it is actually a genuine postal code in use in the Lower Battery, St. John’s Harbour, Newfoundland. [47] Another common «example» code in Canada Post materials, K1A 0B1, is the valid code for the Canada Post headquarters building in Ottawa.

Postal codes in Canada

A Canadian postal code is a six-character string that forms part of a postal address in Canada. [1] Like Irish, British and Dutch postcodes, Canada’s postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters. As of January 2014, there are 845,990 postal codes [2] using Forward Sortation Areas from A0A in Newfoundland to Y1A in Yukon. As of September 2014, there were 855,815 postal codes. [3]

Canada Post provides a free postal code look-up tool on its website, [4] via its mobile application, [5] and sells hard-copy directories and CD-ROMs. Many vendors also sell validation tools, which allow customers to properly match addresses and postal codes. Hard-copy directories can also be consulted in all post offices, and some libraries.

History

City postal zones

Numbered postal zones were first used in Toronto in 1925 [6] and arrived in other Canadian cities by the 1940s. Mail to a Toronto address in zone 5 would be addressed in this format:

Firstname Lastname 9999 Streetname Avenue Toronto 5, Ontario

As of 1943, the City of Toronto was divided into 14 zones, numbered from 1 to 15, except that 7 and 11 were unused, and there was a 2B zone. [7]

In the late 1960s, the Post Office began implementing a three-digit zone number scheme in major cities to replace existing one- and two-digit zone numbers. [8] For example, zones numbered from 100 to 799 were assigned throughout Metropolitan Toronto, with a goal of sorting mail addresses into smaller districts. Toronto’s renumbering took effect 1 May 1969, accompanied by an advertising campaign under the slogan «Your number is up». [9] The system was introduced during 1968 in Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Montreal, and Windsor. Besides Toronto, the system was to have expanded in 1969 to London, Ottawa, Quebec City, and Vancouver. [9]

With impending plans for a national postal code system, Postmaster General Eric Kierans announced that the Post Office would begin cancelling the new three-digit city zone system. Companies changed their mail addressing at their own expense, only to find the new zoning would prove to be short-lived. [10]

Planning

Implementation

In February 1970, Communications Minister Eric Kierans announced that a six-character postal code would be introduced, beginning with a test in the City of Ottawa on 1 April 1971 led by John E.J. Carisse, Canada’s first Postal Code Officer. [14] Coding of Ottawa was followed by a provincial-level rollout of the system in Manitoba, and the system was gradually implemented in the rest of the country from 1972 to 1974. [13] The rollout was marked by a large advertising campaign, costing approximately C$545,000. [15]

The introduction of such a code system allowed Canada Post to speed up easily, as well as simplify, the flow of mail in the country. However, when the automated sorting system was initially conceived, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and other relevant unions objected to it, mainly because the wages of those who ran the new automated machines were much lower than those who had hand-sorted mail. The unions ended up staging job action and public information campaigns, with the message that they did not want people and business to use postal codes on their mail. 20 March 1974 was declared «boycott the postal code day» and the union promised that letters without postal codes would be given preferential service. [16] Eventually the unions started being compensated once the automated system was put into use and eventually generating significant revenue for Canada Post. The boycott was called off in February 1976. [17]

One 1975 Toronto ad generated controversy by showing a man writing a postal code on the bottom of a thonged woman with the ditty We’re not ‘stringing’ you along/Use postal codes—you’ll ‘thing our ‘thong’/Don’t be cheeky—you’ve all got ’em/Please include them on the bottom. The ad ran only once before being accused of sexism by NDP MP John Rodriguez. Postmaster General Bryce Mackasey later apologized for it. [18]

Components of a postal code

Forward sortation areas

A forward sortation area (FSA) is a geographical region in which all postal codes start with the same three characters. [19] The first letter of an FSA code denotes a particular «postal district», which, outside of Quebec and Ontario, corresponds to an entire province or territory. Owing to Quebec’s and Ontario’s large populations, those two provinces have three and five postal districts respectively, and each has at least one urban area so populous that it has a dedicated postal district («H» for the Montréal region, and «M» for Toronto). On the other hand, the low populations in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories (NWT) mean that even after Nunavut separated from the Northwest Territories and became its own territory in 1999, they continue to share a postal district. The digit specifies if the FSA is urban or rural. A zero indicates a wide-area rural region, while all other digits indicate urban areas. The second letter represents a specific rural region, an entire medium-sized city, or a section of a major metropolitan area.

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Add anchors to your pattern:

Also, since it appears that you want to allow hyphens, you can slip that into an optional character class that includes the space you were originally using. Be sure to leave the hyphen as either the very first or very last character; otherwise, you will need to escape it (using a leading backslash) to prevent the regex engine from interpreting it as part of a character range (e.g. A-Z ).

This one handles us and ca codes.

You have a problem with the regex StatsCan has posted the rules for what is a valid Canadian postal code:

The postal code is a six-character code defined and maintained by Canada Post Corporation (CPC) for the purpose of sorting and delivering mail. The characters are arranged in the form ‘ANA NAN’, where ‘A’ represents an alphabetic character and ‘N’ represents a numeric character (e.g., K1A 0T6). The postal code uses 18 alphabetic characters and 10 numeric characters. Postal codes do not include the letters D, F, I, O, Q or U, and the first position also does not make use of the letters W or Z.

The regex should be if you wanted it strict.

Also \d means number not necessarily 0-9 there may be the one errant browser that treats it as any number in unicode space which would likely cause issues for you downstream.

About the Canada Postal Code

The postal codes in Canada are alphanumeric as stated earlier. Zip codes in Canada are in the format A1A 1A1, Canadian postal code is a six-character string that’s part of a Canadian postal address, with A being a letter and 1 being a digit.

Canada does not use zip codes like the United States (See the United State Zip Codes). Similar postal codes are used in Canada (T6X 0Z4). The first letter denotes the province, indicating that it is located in Alberta.

In Canadian State, the area is narrowed down to a city or town with each succeeding number and letter, and then to a street and building. The A in the Canada zip code represents Newfoundland and Z represents areas of British Columbia.

Note, a ZIP code is an internal code for regions served by the US Postal Service. It has nothing to do with any other country and no country has a “Zipcode”.

Anyone who has ever mailed a letter knows that most countries have some sort of code to aid in the sorting of mail for speedier delivery, thus it’s a mystery why someone is asking this issue.

A six-character string that forms part of a Canadian postal address is known as a postal code. Canada’s postal codes, like those of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, are alphanumeric.

What is the ZIP code of Canada

The Canada Post offers a free Canada postal code lookup tool on its website and through its mobile app, as well as selling paper copies and CD-ROMs which enable one find the Zipe code of Canada.

Printed guides are also available at all post offices and some libraries. When creating a postal address in Canada, the postal code is written after the province or territory abbreviation.

Using the Canadian Postal Codes

Commercial Estimator uses Local Multipliers based on Postal Codes to localize expenses in most parts of Canada (see the Postal Code ranges listed below). Commercial Estimator, on the other hand, does not include Local Multipliers for all of Canada’s Postal Codes.

The Postal Code Ranges for Commercial Estimators as Local Multipliers in Canada are listed above in the table. Within a range, you can enter any Postal Code. You can enter A0A0A0, A0B6F2, or A0C9Z9 in the first range, for example.

You can use one of the Province/Territory Symbols indicated above if the building’s Postal Code is not in one of the ranges in the table above.

What is the zip code for Toronto, Canada?

Staying in Canada as opposed to the United States, they have postal codes as opposed to zip codes (more or less the same thing in their use), which use three letters and three numbers, (letter-number-letter number-letter-number) as opposed to five numbers in a zip code.

Because of Toronto’s size as a city and the size of the Greater Toronto Area, postal codes are often different regionally (if I recall correctly, the ‘letter-number-letter’ first half of the postal code is assigned based on proximity to a mail depot) and even within a relatively small chunk of ‘core Toronto.’ Sometimes, even though the difference is minimal, side-by-side neighbors will have two separate postal codes.

The short answer is that Toronto has no postal codes. The only thing the GTA’s postal codes have in common is that they all start with the letter ‘M’ (followed by the other five letters and numbers), which I assume was originally an arbitrary reference to ‘Metro’ (as in Metro Toronto) that meant nothing else, though I have no concrete evidence that this was the case.

In Toronto, there are around 150 forwarding Sortation Area codes, as defined by Canada Post. M4J, M6G, M6N, and M6S are the first three characters of the postal code, and those are the ones I’ve lived in.

The second set of three, numeric-alpha-numeric, refers to specific postal delivery zones and, depending on population density, can occasionally limit down a region to one single side or block of a street.

As others have pointed out, Canada’s system is a combination of letters and numbers that can be precise down to a single area in some situations.

One interesting fact is that you can tell if an address is in Toronto by looking at the postal code; all postal addresses in Toronto (and only in Toronto) begin with M, so if you see a postal code that begins with L or any other letter of the alphabet, you can be certain that the address is not within the formally defined City of Toronto boundaries.

Each side of a street has a different postal code, which changes every block. And everyone who receives more than a certain number of pieces of mail each day is assigned a code (I forget what that number is, but it’s low—-suffice it to say that many or most firms qualify). There are thousands of postal codes to choose from. (They all begin with “M” in Toronto.).

Canada Random Postal Codes

Canadian City postal zones

The numbered postal zones in Canada were first used in Toronto in 1925. Mail to a Toronto address in zone 5 would be addressed in this format:

37 Bloor Street West

Toronto 5, Ontario

As of 1943, Toronto in Canada was divided into 14 zones, numbered from 1 to 15, except that 7 and 11 were unused, and there was a 2B zone. The Canadian city Postal zones were implemented in Montreal in 1944.

By the early 1960s, other cities in Canada State had been divided into postal zones, including Quebec, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Vancouver as well as Toronto and Montreal. For example, an address in Vancouver would be addressed as:

804 Robson Street,

Starting in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver in the late 1960s, the Post Office began implementing a three-digit zone number scheme to replace existing one- and two-digit zone numbers. For example, in Metropolitan Toronto, an address would be written as:

1253 Bay Street

Toronto 185, Ontario

The renumbering of Toronto began on May 1, 1969, and was followed by an advertising campaign with the tagline “Your number is up.”

With the upcoming implementation of a national postal code system, Postmaster General Eric Kierans declared that the new three-digit city zone system would be phased out.

Companies changed their mail addresses at their own expense, only to discover that the new zoning was only temporary.

Does Toronto have zip codes?

The city of Toronto in the province of Ontario is home to postal codes beginning with M (excluding M0R and M7R). The forward sort field is represented by only the first three characters. Many manufacturers also market validation tools that help clients match addresses and postal codes accurately.

Wrap up on What is the ZIP code of Canada?

Canada’s postal codes, like those of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, are alphanumeric. They are written in the format A1A 1A1, with a space between the third and fourth characters. In general, a Canadian postal code designates one “block face,” or one side of a one-block-long street.

When mailing mail outside the United States, a “zip code” is not required; the country name is sufficient. However, in huge countries like Canada, you will almost always need to include their postal code, whatever its local moniker is.

Canada has its own postal system, which is referred to as postal codes. It’s remarkably similar to the British system and far more versatile than (read: superior to) zip codes. Zip codes have a limit of 100,000 addresses, however postal codes have millions.

The postal codes in Canada are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, which is a six-character string that is part of a Canadian postal address, with A being a letter and 1 being a numeral. When writing a letter, the postal code is written after the abbreviation for the province or area.

Here are questions people also ask about Canadian zip code:

Are all Canadian ZIP codes 6 digits?

The postal codes in Canada have a 6-digit structure with two 3-digit alphanumeric portions. The FSA (forward station area) is the first segment, while the LDU is the second (local delivery unit). These numbers stand for the following: Axx xxx: The first letter is addressed to a certain postal area.

What is Canada’s postal code?

Some people wonder what Canada’s ZIP code is. In Canada, however, there are no ZIP codes. The postal code system is an alternative to the United States’ ZIP-code system.

О Почте Канады

Почтовая корпорация Канады функционирует как основной почтовый оператор в Канаде. Первоначально известная как Royal Mail Canada (рабочее название почтового отделения канадского правительства, основанного в 1867 году), в конце 1960-х годов был произведен ребрендинг на название «Canada Post».

Почта Канады обслуживала более 16 миллионов адресов и доставила почти 8,4 миллиарда почтовых отправлений в 2016 году. Доставка осуществляется с помощью традиционной службы «до двери» и централизованной доставки 25 000 почтовых отправлений через 13 000 автомобилей. По всей стране существует более 6200 почтовых отделений, представляющих собой сочетание корпоративных офисов и частных франшиз, которыми управляют розничные торговцы, такие как аптеки.

About Canada Post

Canada Post Corporation functions as the primary postal operator in Canada. Originally known as Royal Mail Canada (the operating name of the Post Office Department of the Canadian government founded in 1867), rebranding was done to the “Canada Post” name in the late 1960s.

Canada Post provided service to more than 16 million addresses and delivered nearly 8.4 billion mail items in 2016. Delivery takes place via traditional «to the door» service and centralized delivery by 25,000 letter carriers, through a 13,000 vehicle fleet. There are more than 6,200 post offices across the country, a combination of corporate offices and private franchises that are operated by retailers, such as drugstores.

Parcels app will help you track the status and location of your parcel delivered by Canada Post.

Seeking Canadian postal code geometries

Where can I find the shapefiles for Canadian postal codes?

6 Answers 6

As a heads-up, they changed the projection format between 2011 and 2016 in case you are upgrading your local data from 2011 to 2016. The 2011 shape file is NAD83 (4269), but the 2016 seems to be using Lambert projection (3348). I say seems because when I load the shape file it doesn’t specifically seem to say the exact EPSG/SRID. I ended up converting the shape file to be 4326 so that it’s the same as Google Maps.

2016 FSA Census Boundary files are now available (as of Sept 13, 2017 according to their site).

Stats Canada has since released the Forward Sortation Areas Boundary files (as of February 5, 2013 according to their site).

Statistics Canada has a page dedicated to making available different Shape files regarding Canadian Boundaries, both Geographical and Digital. (link is the same as the one mentioned above)

Post code canada

The following letters never appear in a Canadian postal code (henceforth «CPC»; if I ever mean «Canada Post Corporation,» I’ll spell it out):

Presumably this is because of their visual similarity to 0, E, 1, 0, 0, and V respectively.

The first letter of the Forward Sortation Area (FSA) uniquely identifies the province or territory, except in a few cases to be explained later. Each province or territory has one or more identifying letters, as follows:

A
Newfoundland and Labrador
B
Nova Scotia
C
Prince Edward Island
E
New Brunswick
G
Québec East
H
Montréal Metropolitan
J
Québec West
K
Eastern Ontario
L
Central Ontario
M
Toronto
N
Southwestern Ontario
P
Northern Ontario
R
Manitoba
S
Saskatchewan
T
Alberta
V
British Columbia
X
Northwest Territories and Nunavut
Y
Yukon Territory

The letters can be thought of as advancing from east (A) to west (V) across the provinces, then east (X) to west (Y) again across the territories to the north. The east-to-west association is not geographically perfect, especially in the Maritime Provinces to the east, but it is close enough to be mnemonically useful.

For Québec and Ontario, the first letter identifies a sub-region of the province. (Canada Post may give slightly different definitions of the sub-regions from mine.) Note that in addition to avoiding the six «forbidden» letters above, this chart implies that W and Z also do not appear as the first letter of a CPC (at least not at present).

The second character of the FSA (the digit) identifies whether the CPC is for a rural or urban area. A zero (0) indicates a rural area, while any other digit 1 through 9 represents a (comparatively) urban area. On occasion, as some rural localities grow and expand, their postal codes are changed to reflect that they have «graduated» from being considered rural to urban. This happened recently to a few communities in New Brunswick. The process of converting an area from «rural» to «urban» postal codes has a formal name: «urbanization.» This is, of course, an extremely specific use of the word as compared to the general sense.

Statistics Canada’s Reference Guide to the Postal Code Conversion File states:

The last three characters of the postal code («NAN») identify routes known as local delivery units (LDUs). In urban areas, a single postal code can correspond to the following types of LDUs:

In new urban growth areas, postal codes are now linked to community mailboxes. A community mailbox postal code can service both odd and even sides of the same street, or different streets, within a 200 metre radius of the community mailbox.

It seems reasonable that a rural postal code is assigned one per town/village/hamlet. There are several cases where a town has more than one code, but it doesn’t seem to take long before Canada Post applies the concept of urbanization to such an area and changes its FSA.

There are only two CPCs that start with H0 (other than the fictitious H0H 0H0) and none that start with M0. This makes sense if you think about the role of 0 identifying a rural area, and the role of H and M identifying the very non-rural Montréal and Toronto areas.

The third character of the FSA (second letter) narrows down the area of coverage. Canada Post offers a free «FSA map» document at:

that shows the exact boundaries (down to street level in many cases) of FSAs.

For urban CPCs, the Local Delivery Unit (LDU) identifies a smaller region within the FSA. This is often the same as saying «within the city,» but not always; sometimes another city or district has its own name that «intrudes» on the main city. For example, within G1N Québec you will find several codes for Sainte-Foy. There is no practical difference between the roles of the three characters in an urban LDU, unlike the FSA; they simply count up, so that 1Z9 is followed by 2A1. (The digit 0 is never used as the last digit of the LDU for «urban» CPCs, for some reason. I just discovered this now. 🙂

For rural CPCs, the LDU identifies a specific community, and (unlike the urban case) usually does end in 0. Rural communities that are «adjacent» in terms of the CPC might be physically far apart, especially in the territories.

Ray Chow points out:

In fact, there are urban LDU (local delivery unit) codes ending in 0, but you’ll never see them on letters, as they’re used for post offices (including postal outlets in retail stores). The postal counter in the drugstore a few blocks from my house has the postal code M1R 4B0, for example. See the postal outlet locator at:

There are also rural LDUs with non-zero last digits; for example, Beamsville, ON has L0R 1B1 through L0R 1B9, as well as some that end in 0.

There are two classes of exceptions to the rule of the first letter identifying the province or territory:

All postal codes beginning with K1A are for Federal Government offices. The vast majority of these are in Ottawa, Ontario, but a small number (16) of K1A postal codes are located in neighboring Gatineau, QuГ©bec. These exceptions are for government addresses only; all households and private businesses in Gatineau have postal codes beginning with J. Note that the use of K1A for all government offices in Ottawa-Gatineau means a department can be moved between Ontario and QuГ©bec without changing its postal code. (Thanks to Stan Jones of the Yarmouth Stroke Project in Nova Scotia for this information.) Software that wants to identify the province or territory based on the first letter must take these exceptions into account.

Nunavut was carved out of the Northwest Territories in 1999, as you know. This seems to have taken Canada Post somewhat by surprise, as there didn’t seem to be a cohesive plan for gving Nunavut its own postal identity. Not only was the postal abbreviation NT initially used for both, as you document, but Nunavut also was not assigned a distinct FSA first letter. It continues to share X with Northwest Territories. One could easily argue that W (or less likely, Z) should have been given to Nunavut. Instead, Nunavut communities can be distinguished from those in NT as follows:

Another way of thinking of this is that FSAs beginning with X are in Nunavut only if they are «less than» X0E. (Remember that X0D is not possible.)

When comparing the roles of U.S. ZIP codes and Canadian postal codes, it’s important to remember that there are 7.2 million possible CPCs as compared with 100,000 possible ZIP codes, although in each case many «possible» codes are unavailable because of state/province boundaries or assignment customs. Especially in urban areas, a CPC represents a much smaller area than a ZIP code. Comparison with ZIP+4 codes is closer to the mark.
