This is partly the reason why I don't add postal codes when I put new business listings into OSM.

Canapost uses

A#A #A#

Seeing as they were trying to copyright it's usage (see lawsuit vs geocode.ca) I think thats the format we should use

Hi all,

Below are the 10 top postal code formats in Canada as seen in addr:postcode. When I get bored of tidying up phone numbers, I'll tackle some postal codes.

I hope we can all agree that "A#A #A#", which is the most popular, is the correct format that should be used. The ones that just have 'A#A' (the "Forward Sortation Area") I will leave as well. There are more than 60 unique formats in use today.... and funny enough I see phone numbers in the postal code field.... arrh!

I am open to comments/suggestion on this, as always.

20271 'A#A #A#' 1454 'A#A#A#' 96 'a#a#a#' 37 'A#A #A# ' 29 'a#a #a#' 28 'A#A' 24 'A#A #a#' 23 'AA A#A #A#' 17 'A#A-#A#' 12 'A#A #A#'
