Everything is the same, with different abbreviations for provinces than we have for states so there is no overlap. For example, Molson Canada <--Beer! 1555, rue Notre Dame E. <--note the comma Montréal, PQ <-- = Quebec H2L 2R5 <--their version of a zip code, called a postal code (If you are mailing from outside Canada, you have to write Canada underneath the postal code and underline it.)

we have street,cities,provinces,country and postal code.

The main difference is the zip code. They don't call it zip codes they call it postal codes and there are letters and numbers in it. example: First-Name Last-Name 123 street name city, province A1B 2C3 <----- Postal Code The format is a letter then a number.

Good answers but Canada Post's addressing standards recent requirements put the postal code on the same line as the city and province. (see source link below) HOWEVER, It has been demonstrated (CITY-TV, Toronto 2005) that although unreliable is is possible to send something to a name and postal code: CITY-TV News desk M5V 2Z5
