Canadian addresses

1. Put information such as title, floor, etc. above the street address
2. Put a hyphen between unit/suite/apt number and the street number.
3. Put the city, province and Postal Code on 1 line.
4. Put 2 spaces between the Postal Code and the province.

Return addresses

Format the return address the same way as the destination address and place it in the top left corner of the envelope or parcel OR on the back of the item at the top.

Address placement

Hmmm...guess I learned something new today...never realized that I should put the postal code next to the province, I always put it at the bottom

I learned way back in the early 90's that the postal code belongs on the same line as the City and Province. It also helps to print in capital block letters. Easier for the machinery to recognize. Use the proper abbreviations for provinces as well. Alberta is AB not Alta as some still use.

OH MY - That's interesting!
I've always put the postal code on the very last line too

Yes, started doing it ages ago!

[lotsasavings]

Good to know! Thanks!

[elayjosh]

This is great info. I always put the postal code last.

[nadiabreckon]

Really?! Hahaha, funny I probably should have known this since I used to work at the Post Office!

[kasha100]

thanks for that will do it

[FallenPixels]

I always put it on the same line as city/prov but wondered if I had been doing it wrong since so many people on SC put the postal code on a line by itself

[r0c0upons]

well! interesting! I don't know about Canada, but in the States we learned about mail sorting in school and they said that with the equipment they use, the very first thing that's looked at is the zip code, so I guess placement is pretty important!

Wow changing old habits is going to be hard...

[orv]

interesting! thanks for the tips i was guilty of the postal code on the bottom line too..lol

[scbpooh]

I did not know that either.

Ok then, I would like to point out, If I were to start putting SK on envies instead of wring out Saskatchewan, that SK means Saskatchewan and NOT Saskatoon! You would beleive who many envies ppl put my address as Regina Saskatoon.
