- You can get the Canadian Postal Codes but it is much more complex than U.S. Zip
- Codes. A Canadian PC can designate one side of 1 or 2 blocks in a suburban
- area, or one office/apartment building. The PC book (which you can order from
- Canada Post) is about the size of a phonebook for a city of 2 million people (
- about 4 inches thick)
