>From the wiki, those look consistent with what Ive seen locally, although naturally I cant comment about Quebec.

Looking at the global usage, admin_level=5 is seldom used. I would think that Municipal Regional would be 6 and upper municipality would be 7, but I cant really say without examples. I would also suggest that these features in the .osm file not be closed just have the boundary, dont handle it like lakes where you have multiple areas you need to join where they cross tile bounds. From: Bégin, Daniel [mailto:daniel.be...@rncan-nrcan.gc.ca] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 1:39 PM To: talk-ca@openstreetmap.org Subject: [Talk-ca] Administrative Boundary Bonjour again! Available administrative boundary will be included in the next release of Canvec.osm. From the wiki, here is the tagging values I'm going to use Municipal Regional: boundary=administrative; admin_level=5 Upper municipality: boundary=administrative; admin_level=6 Municipality: boundary=administrative; admin_level=8 <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Admin_level (Canada) Municipality admin_level=8 corresponds to gdf order in ISO standard. Municipal Regional Area and Upper Municipality (admin_level=5 and 6) are different from what the ISO standard says (gdf order=6 and 7). Is someone can confirm that admin_level=5 and 6 is really what is expected?
