- Abstract
- Canada FSA Postal Centroids represents the Forward Sortation Areas (FSA) of Canada as centroids, which are identified by the first three characters of the postal code. The sequence of the three-character FSA is always alphabetical character/number/alphabetical character. The centroids are calculated from the DMTI Spatial FSA boundary dataset, which is created from the DMTI Spatial six-character postal code point dataset and CanMap®. The FSA boundaries encompass the six-character postal code points starting with the FSA designation, and conform to the streets and other physical features within CanMap.
- Purpose
- Canada FSA Postal Centroids provides the Forward Sortation Areas (FSA) of Canada as centroids.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE® to verify and validate the geometry.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The positional accuracy ranges from sub-meter (GPS derived) to 5 meters (1:50,000 National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) areas) or greater, in the case of Northern areas in Canada not covered by NTDB, namely, most of Nunavut, much of Northwest Territories and northern parts of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
