## Overview

- **Description**: Postal Code Linkage and Geocode provides the geocode (latitude/longitude) of every active Canadian postal code. It also provides the linkage to every level of Census Geography, e.g.
Dissemination Area (DA),
Census Tract (CT),
Census Subdivision (CSD),
Census Division (CD),
Census Metropolitan Area (CMA)
Health Region/LHIN/LHN
Administrative Regions
Economic Regions
Federal Electoral District (FED)
It also provides the rural or urban status of each postal code.
This file is updated on a monthly basis.
Hundreds of inputs were used to create this data product including Manifold Data Mining's proprietary data, Statistics Canada, Canada Post, address-level data, etc.
Postal Codes are not easy to match because postal codes were created by Canada Post to optimize mail delivery. Meanwhile, Dissemination Areas were created by Statistics Canada to count people. Postal codes can be a single house, an apartment building, a blockface, or an entire rural region. Typically, postal codes are a blockface, i.e. 1 side of 1 street between 2 intersections.
As of 2025, there are 824,990 unique residential postal codes across Canada, and 56,550 populated Dissemination Areas in Canada, meaning that Dissemination Areas on average are 15x less granular than postal codes.
Canada Post updates the list of postal codes monthly. Not weekly, not daily, but monthly. Refer to Canada Post’s documentation or ask us for a link to their documentation for more details.
Examples of rural postal codes that straddle multiple cities/CSDs include: N0B1M0, L0E1R0. These can be non-contiguous, and can also have holes in them.
It is an outdated myth that all rural postal codes have a “0” as the second digit. E.g. consider J8H 0P9, a forested cottage area 30 minutes away from the nearest subdivision. Or consider J5M1Z6, where every household has its own farm field.
