How many zip/postal codes in canada???
 

I was looking to send something to MTL and it appears zip/postal codes only cover a street? or a house??
how does that work???

The postal code covers one side of a street...
So you need the house number, street name, city and postal code !

really?? so the other side of the street has a totally diff postal code?

Uhmm.... it's the same principle as a zip code.

They just separate areas of population for mailing purposes.

yeah i knew that part...i just thought it was weird postal codes change from one street to the next even if its in the same area/neighborhood

i guess u learn something new every day

Depends on the population I guess... I know entire towns with one postal code. And a city that has only 3 or 4.

interesting....thanks for the link and info :glugglug
