How to Look Up a Canadian Postal Code
The Canadian Postal Service reminds clients that including the postal code when addressing a letter or package will speed up the item’s delivery. The six-character postal code that the Canadian postal system utilizes is comprised of letter-number-letter, then a space, and then number-letter-number. The first set indicates the postal districts and classification while the second set refers to the local delivery unit. Internet resources allow individuals to identify the postal code that corresponds to the recipient’s address.
