Addresses that have non-civic address information will be included in addition to the civic address.
The National Address Register (NAR) sets up a standardized address structure and provides a list of valid georeferenced civic addresses in Canada. The addresses are extracted from Statistics Canada's Building Register and were validated by a minimum of two independent data sources. The addresses do not disclose the identity of any of the residents or businesses at the address and as such are deemed non-confidential. The corresponding mailing version of the address is added and follows Canada Post's addressing guidelines.

About PUMFs
Downloading a Public Use Microdata File (PUMF) allows you to conduct your own analysis. The microdata file is in CSV or TXT format.
The zip file contains the data file and the associated documentation such as user guides, codebooks, layout cards or syntax files.
PUMFs consist of sets of records containing information on individuals or households (microdata). They are non-aggregated data that are carefully modified, then reviewed to ensure that no individual or business is directly or indirectly identified.
PUMFs are microdata files that require specialized statistical software in order to read, manipulate, and analyze the dataset. The software is used to combine the microdata and metadata to create a file for analysis.
Statistics Canada Open Licence governs the use of PUMFs.
