USPS Canada Address Format

If you are shipping a letter or parcel to Canada, it is important that you follow the proper usps canada address format. This ensures that your mail will be delivered properly and on time.

US addresses typically start with the recipient’s name followed by a street, city, state, and zip code. You may also include a business or department name and/or any other additional address details you wish to add.

Civic Address

In the US, we write the street address on the second line and a civic address on the third. In Canada, we also write the civic address on the second line and the city, province or territory, and postal code on the third line.

Cardinal Directions

In addition to the street name, the civic address should also have cardinal directions like N, S, E, W, NW, SE, SW, NE etc. If there is a Post Office box number, it should be written before the civic address.

House and flat numbers

Depending on the country, house and flat numbers are written before the street name or on the same line as the street name. They are sometimes preceded by the address type, such as a condo unit or a multi-unit building.

Postal codes and provincial abbreviations

Different regions of Canada have their own unique postal codes and province abbreviations, so it is important to determine the correct ones before you start writing. You can find this information on the USPS and Canada Post websites.
