Hey All:
I'm Canadian (and get a ton of packages) and have
never had a problem with addresses on anything. But, in case you're
worried, here's the proper way to address something to Canada:
BOB BROOKS 1234 MAIN ST NW
VANCOUVER BC A1B 2C3
CANADA
And, yes, Santa Claus is Canadian (we lay
claim to the north pole)...
Good day,
Bob

Requirements for Canada
Found this,
Canada refuses all mail that does not conform to the new
addressing requirements.
NEW MANDATORY ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS FOR
CANADA
1. Addressee full first and last name must be
spelled out; using "Grandma" or "Uncle" is no longer acceptable. 2. Sender
full first and last name must be spelled out; "Grandma", "Santa" or "Uncle" is
no longer acceptable. 3. The complete address of the sender, including ZIP
Code and country of origin, must be shown in the upper left hand corner of the
address side of the package, envelope or card. 4. Addresses to recipients
in Canada must be printed -- preferably in ink or typewritten -- using capital
letters. 5. The last line of the address must show only the country name,
written in full, and in capital letters. 6. When a Canadian postal delivery
zone number is included in the address, mailing requirements allow that number
appear as the last line of the address. 7. Complete and legible customs
declarations, including complete sender and addressee information along with
required import documentation, must be provided to specifically identify the
contents of any package. General descriptions such as "gift" or "present" are
no longer acceptable.

Subject: [MOPO] New Mandatory Address
Requirements for Canada
Are all MoPOers aware of the recently
instituted mandatory addressing requirements on all mail sent to
Canada??
A worker at my local post office gave me a
inter-office bulletin outlining the new requirements, which begins with the
following paragraph:
"Canada has instituted
mandatory addressing requirements on all incoming mail. Canada is refusing
all mail that does not conform to the new requirements and has been
returning truckloads to us every day."
I've had two packages to Canada recently
returned for no apparent reason. The culprit must have been the way the
labels were addressed. Any other MoPoers have this experience
recently??
