Remarks The City - State/Province - Postal Code (International) standardization definition standardizes city names according to the Canada Post SERP database. If two conflicting spellings exist as the SERP standard, this definition selects the French spelling, as seen in the final two examples. Common city abbreviations are expanded into full names. Accents and hyphens are added onto French city names where applicable.
