Optionally you may request the nearest points of interest to be returned with your reverse geocoding search. More on the Places Search API
We've added an autocomplete feature for partially entered Canadian postal addresses. For eg: "1435 prince of" => "1435 PRINCE OF WALES DR, Ottawa, ON, K2C1N5". See the API for implementation details. Demo
Geocoder.ca has always offered free licenses to non-for-profit users, including those working on COVID-19 research or projects. Contact us.
You may update your postal code polygon directly on geocoder.ca
For example, K2C1N5
We've re-vamped our postal code polygon calculation algorithm, resulting in a much more accurate polygonal representation of the crowdsourced Canadian Postal Code Dataset.
For example, This is a Shapefile Sample for the V3S FSA
The geocoder.ca geocoding engine for the USA corrects and standardizes the following:
The misspelled and incomplete address:
751 FAIR OKS AVENUE PASADNA CA
Is changed to:
751 N FAIR OAKS AVE PASADENA CA 91103-3069
Due to customer demand, we intend to renew our CASS Certification each year from now henceforth with the USPS to meet current CASS Certification cycle requirements.
For example, K2C1N5 - ON45360757 - Ottawa.

This data is also available for download as part of the Canadian Postal Code Dataset Product linking the 2016 StatsCan Census - Boundary files to postal codes.

Further Explanation - interpolation is the process of estimating where on the street a particular address location is. There are several upsides of the rooftop method, most importantly: The point will be properly placed on the middle of the roof of the given address as opposed to being placed in the middle of the road (which is often the case with interpolation.) Another big advantage is better coverage. If a location belongs to a recently built house for instance, most current geocoders or gps devices will not find it, but the municipality has that data up to date because, well, everybody must pay the property tax. Here is an example address that I was not able to find on other services 7636 GREEN VISTA GT , Niagara Falls, ON
The data for rooftop geocoding is provided by various open sources:
One last thing, you can also geocode locations directly on a map. Enjoy!
How it works: You upload a text only csv file -> We geocode and standardize the location information on each line -> You log in to download the processed file. Batch geocoding is available for both USA locations, addresses and zip codes and for Canadian locations, addresses and postal codes.

While this is still an experimental feature, initial tests seem promissing. Give it a try. We are looking forward to your feedback. (Just enter an ip address in the location parameter. The API remains the same as in the reverse geocoding API) Web Example | XML Example | Jsonp Example
Note: The backup location will _only_ process queries in the event of the main service being off-line. Otherwise it will simply re-direct your query to geocoder.ca. This is only intended to give more "peace of mind" for those who wish to integrate their applications in real-time with our geocoding port, and are worried of the eventuality of a service outage. In case you want to use this backup service you need to code a few extra lines of code into your application to call the backup service in case your application receives a networking error from the main service. _DO NOT_ use the backup service in case the main service can not locate a particular address. Both the main service and the backup service are identical in that respect! Contact us if you need further explanation.
