📮CA Canada Regional Postal Code FAQ & Postal Regulations

🔤 What is the correct format of a Canadian postal code?

Canadian postal codes are 6-character combinations in the format: Letter+Number+Letter + Space + Number+Letter+Number (e.g., K1A 0B1).

🗺️ What do the letters in the postal code mean?

The first letter represents the province/territory (e.g., K=Eastern Ontario), the second digit refines the area, and the third letter pinpoints the community/street.

📬 Is the postal code mandatory for mailing?

Yes! Canada Post requires all mail to include the full postal code. Omission may cause delays or returns (especially for business mail).

❓ How to find an unknown postal code?

Use Canada Post's official postal code lookup tool: https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/info/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf

📦 Special requirements for mailing to Quebec?

Addresses should be written in French first. Postal code format remains unchanged (e.g., H3Z 2Y7), and city names use French spelling (e.g., Montréal instead of Montreal).
