03290

03290 is a postal code used in Canada. It is located in the province of Quebec. Specifically, it serves a portion of the Montreal area. The postal code was introduced by Canada Post to facilitate mail delivery within this region. Postal codes in Canada are alphanumeric, consisting of six characters. The structure of a Canadian postal code is generally A1A 1A1, where A represents an alphabetic character and 1 represents a numeric digit. The first three characters of a postal code, known as the Forward Sortation Area (FSA), identify a specific geographic region or a large metropolitan area. The last three characters, known as the Local Delivery Unit (LDU), pinpoint a smaller, more specific area within the FSA. The 03290 postal code falls within a particular FSA that encompasses a specific set of addresses and businesses. Further breakdown of the LDU component of 03290 would specify a more granular delivery route or zone. Canada Post uses postal codes for efficient sorting and delivery of mail. The assignment of postal codes is managed by the postal service to ensure optimal logistical operations.
