The presortation software will sort mail items by <strong>Post</strong>al Code. The <strong>Post</strong>al Code is a six-character alphanumeric<br />
code in the form of ANA NAN, in which "A" represents a letter of the alphabet, and "N" represents a number. It<br />
is an integral part of every postal address in <strong>Canada</strong>, and was designed to help sort mail, both mechanically and<br />
manually.<br />
The <strong>Post</strong>al Code is made up of two (2) segments, as shown in Figure 1:<br />
1. The first three characters (ANA) represent the Forward Sortation Area (FSA), a geographical region, and<br />
2. The last three characters (NAN) represent the Local Delivery Unit (LDU), a specific city block or rural<br />
community.<br />
NOTE: Rural areas are identified by a zero in the FSA (e.g., M0L 3K2).<br />
