Canada mailing code

You're referring to the Canadian postal code system!

In Canada, postal codes are alphanumeric codes that are used to identify specific geographic areas, such as cities, towns, and rural areas. They are used by Canada Post, the country's postal service, to sort and deliver mail.

A Canadian postal code consists of six characters, divided into three parts:

1. The first three characters (letters) represent the Forward Sortation Area (FSA), which is a geographic area that is used to sort mail.
2. The fourth character (a letter or a number) is a "space" character, which separates the FSA from the Local Delivery Unit (LDU).
3. The last three characters (letters or numbers) represent the LDU, which is a smaller geographic area within the FSA.

Here's an example of a Canadian postal code: M5A 1A1

• M5A is the FSA, which represents the downtown area of Toronto, Ontario.
• The space character separates the FSA from the LDU.
• 1A1 is the LDU, which represents a specific street or block within the downtown area.

There are over 800,000 postal codes in Canada, and they are used to deliver mail and packages to every corner of the country.

Here are some examples of Canadian postal codes:

• Toronto, ON: M5A 1A1
• Vancouver, BC: V6B 2L7
• Montreal, QC: H3B 2M8
• Calgary, AB: T2P 2M7
• Ottawa, ON: K1A 0B1

I hope that helps!
