PostalType | char(1) | The Canada Post has assigned each Postal Code a type. Why? It helps them sort mail more quickly.S - Standard - A standard ZIP Code is what most people think of when they talk about ZIP Codes - essentially a town, city, or a division of a city that has mail service.P - PO Box Only - Rural towns, groups of towns, or even high-growth areas of cities are given a PO Box Only ZIP Code type.U - Unique - Companies, organizations, and institutions that receive large quantities of mail are given a unique ZIP Code type.M - Military - Military bases overseas - and often vessels and ships - are given a military ZIP Code type. |
