How to format an address when sending to Canada
When you send parcels to Canada, you’ll need to be sure you include the following elements when formatting your address:
- The recipient’s name
- The house or flat number followed by the street
- The city, two-character abbreviation for the province you’re sending your parcel to, and the postcode
- The country in capitals
For example:
Mr J. Smith
209 E Main Street
