The boundary file allows you to analyze your data at the first 3-Digit / FSA level of postal geography. ​FSAs in Canada are used and defined by Canada Post for the distribution and sortation of mail, similar to ZIP Codes in the US, used and defined by United States Postal Service (USPS).  All 6-Digit (FSALDU) postal codes in Canada correspond or lie within their larger / parent FSA Boundary.

The second letter of the FSA indicates whether the postal code address is within a rural or urban area.  The third character represents a city, sub-region or sector of the larger first 2-digits / metro / regional area.
