Frequently asked questions
What is a forward sortation area?
A forward sortation area, or FSA, is the first three characters of a Canadian postal code. It identifies a geographic area that mail is sorted to before final delivery.
Why does this page not list full postal codes?
Full six-character Canadian postal codes are protected by Canada Post copyright and are not published as open data, so we only list the three-character areas.
