Canada Postal Codes
If you are filling out a Canada address, use the full 6-character postal code, with a space in the middle if the form allows it. The format is letter-number-letter, space, number-letter-number, like M5V 2T6. Do not turn it into a ZIP code and do not remove the letters unless the website is badly built.
A realistic central Toronto address would look like this: 301 Front Street West, Entertainment District, Toronto, ON M5V 2T6, Canada. For central Toronto, codes starting with M are common, but M5V is not a general code for the whole city. A place in North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, or another part of Toronto can still start with M but have a very different second half.
A soft way to read Canadian postal codes is this: the first letter gives a broad province or region clue. M points to Toronto, H to Montreal, V to British Columbia, T to Alberta, R to Manitoba, and K often appears around eastern Ontario. That helps spot obvious mistakes, but it is practical guidance, not an official street-level rule. The last three characters can narrow the delivery area a lot.
Canada Post’s postal code lookup is the source to use when the exact code matters, and the UPU addressing guidance for Canada also shows the postal code written after the province abbreviation, like “ON M5V 2T6” rather than on its own random line.
So if you only know “Toronto” or “Vancouver,” do not guess one common central code. Use the street address, apartment number, city, and province to look it up. In Canada, two buildings on nearby streets can have different postal codes, and apartment or unit details can matter too.
