Canadian address search
Type a civic number and street name, pick a match, get coordinates and the administrative areas the address falls in. Free, no account.
What you get back
Latitude and longitude in WGS84, the parsed address components, the province, census division and census subdivision, and a positional accuracy class.
The accuracy class is worth reading. A is within 5 m, B is 5 to 25 m, C is over 25 m. A class C result locates a property, not a doorway.
Why matching sometimes fails
Address matching breaks on street names far more than on numbers. Ave against Avenue. St. John's against Saint Johns. A directional suffix present in one file and missing from the other. A municipality that amalgamated and appears under both its old and new name.
If you already hold the postal code, there is a way around all of it: within an urban postal code, civic numbers do not repeat, so civic number plus postal code identifies the address without the street name at all. See geocoding with postal codes.
Coverage
What this finds is exactly what is in the register — no interpolation and no invention. Coverage varies by municipality, and the coverage table shows where it is thin before you rely on it.
Doing this in bulk
Do not script against this page. Download the data, which is free, and match locally: no per-lookup cost, no rate limit, and no addresses leaving your network. For school districts and health authorities handling student or patient records, that last point is usually the deciding one.
