Bart,
Canadian postal codes map to one side of a street segment (walk).
There does not seem to be any geographical correlation.
The urban mapping is roughly letter=province
digit+letter=municipality/city area digit=subdivision
letter+digit=walk/street segment+(odd or even) address range.
Canadian telcos publish these at the back of directories.
You may need to try to get a hold of one of these lists, plus a street
address to lat/long list, and join the info to get what you want.
Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis
