123 Queen Street
Toronto, ON M5H 2N2

How are the characters arranged?

Canadian postal codes follow A1A 1A1, with a space between the two groups. Preserve them as text when exporting to spreadsheets.

Format is only the first check

The character pattern is a starting point. Province, city, and postal code must agree, and delivery also requires a real building address.
