Addressing mail canada post

Here's the information you need to address mail to be sent through Canada Post:

Format:

[Recipient's Name] [Street Address or PO Box] [City, Province, Postal Code] [Country (if sending internationally)]

Example:

John Doe 123 Main Street Toronto, ON M5A 1A1 Canada

Additional Tips:

  1. Use the correct postal code: Make sure to use the correct postal code for the recipient's city and province. You can find the postal code lookup tool on the Canada Post website.
  2. Use the correct province abbreviation: Use the two-letter abbreviation for the province (e.g. ON for Ontario, BC for British Columbia, etc.).
  3. Use the correct country: If sending mail internationally, include the country name (e.g. Canada, United States, etc.).
  4. Use a clear and legible handwriting: Make sure to write the address clearly and legibly, using a pen or pencil.
  5. Avoid using abbreviations: While it's okay to use province abbreviations, avoid using abbreviations for street names or other addresses.
  6. Use a return address: Include your return address on the envelope, in case the mail is returned to you.

Special Cases:

  1. PO Boxes: If the recipient has a PO Box, use the PO Box number instead of a street address.
  2. Apostrophes and hyphens: If the recipient's name has an apostrophe or hyphen, include it in the address.
  3. Special characters: Avoid using special characters like accents, umlauts, or non-ASCII characters, as they may not be recognized by Canada Post's sorting systems.

By following these guidelines, you'll ensure that your mail is properly addressed and delivered to its intended recipient.
