Canada Postal Code to Latitude/Longitude, Multi-City Database

Postal Codes with Alternate Township Names

This Enterprise Class Canada Postal CodesOM database is considerably different than standard Canadian Postal Codes databases. Those familiar with this industry know that there are numerous cities and towns that are simply not found in a regular list of Canada Postal Codes.

Our CanadaPlus Edition provides a truly comprehensive list of possible cities and towns per Postal Code by acquiring supplementary sources and employing our own research. This edition has 1.2 million records (over 375,000 more city names than ordinary Canadian Postal CodeOM databases). It is extremely clean due to a verification process which we’ve honed for years. Our database is standardized to ensure consistent casing, correct spellings, and uniformity.

Stable Verification Methods

We’ve been refining our procedures and algorithms for identifying and resolving irregularities since 1992! Learn more: View the Product Documentation   /   Watch our Accuracy Matters video

Multi-Cities per Postal Code

If a Postal CodeOM boundary covers more than one city, each city is listed as a separate record.

Data Format - CSV

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Text File

Postal Code

The Postal CodeOM is 7 characters in the following format: ANA NAN.  Please note that there is a space in the 4th position

Province Code

The Province code is 2 characters (AB=Alberta, BC=British Columbia, MB=Manitoba, etc.)

City Sequence

This 2 digit max field will contain a '1' for a Postal Code'sOM primary city and increment for alternate cities.

For example, Newfoundland Island (not the mainland) is -0330 (minus 3 hours and 30 minutes from GMT), yet the Newfoundland mainland is -0400 hours from GMT.
