Normally, yes. However, there is a crucial difference in the way civic addresses and mailing addresses are used. Your mailing address is assigned by Canada Post and is used when sending or receiving mail. It includes the same information as your civic address, but also your postal code and, when applicable, “Canada” at the end. Your civic address is assigned by your local municipality and includes only the physical address (what is needed to locate your home). Your civic address is used by emergency responders and some utility providers.
