WHAT ARE CANADA FORWARD SORTATION AREAS?
A forward sortation area (FSA) code helps Canadian postal workers understand which province or territory a piece of mail corresponds with and where it should be delivered. FSAs are the first three characters of the postal code, which represent specific areas within major geographic regions. Each number has a specific meaning:
- 1st character – a letter that identifies the province or territory.
- 2nd character – a number that identifies the area whether it is urban or rural. Wide-area rural regions are identified with “0” while all other numerals indicate urban areas.
- 3rd character – a letter that identifies a specific geographic district. It may be a major metropolitan area, a medium-sized city or a rural region.
