Canadian
postal codes:
Our Canadian postal codes contain over
758,000 records in a comma-delimited ASCII file. The base product
contains the postal code, the province abbreviation and the city/town
name.
Please Note:
our postal code data is current and accurate (we are authorized resellers
for Canada Post). We update our Canadian data about every 2 months because
there are usually thousands of changes with each edition.
You need to purchase the base postal code product and can optionally
purchase area code, latitude / longitude, and time zone add-on products
as well.
Canadian Add-On Products:
Area Codes: This is the
primary area code for the postal code. This is up-to-date with the new
area codes.
Latitude/Longitude: This
add-on is very popular! It is being used to calculate the distance between
2 postal codes in Dealer / Store Locator applications (such as in Bullseye,
where you find the nearest dealer, store, etc.). Currently, our
latitude / longitude info. contains over 5,400 unique points throughout
Canada and is ideal for a dealer / store locator application.
It is also used with products such as our Zip Search Deluxe to find
all of the postal codes within a given radius. In the major cities and
suburbs, we have a unique latitude/longitude point for each FSA code
(the first 3 characters of the postal code) some cities have
more than 50 FSA codes. In the rural areas, we try to get one point
for every town. We have accurate latitude/longitude info., without the
high cost of street-level data!
Accurate Time Zones: If
you need to do telemarketing, this will help you so you dont call
a phone number at the wrong time. It also has a Daylight Savings Time
flag.
