Synthetic identities; domains, addresses and numbers may coincide with real values. Do not contact or send payments.

Testing Canada interfaces

This locale uses en_CA definitions for names and presentation formats. Test text lengths, input handling, exports and Unicode support. City, region and available postal codes come from the same GeoNames locality. See the generated quality note for postal coverage; street and house number remain synthetic.

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TEST CASES

Testing Canada forms

Use a Canada profile as a starting point for form tests. This guide focuses on alternating postal characters and province codes. Add the deliberate fixture below to make that behavior repeatable.

Generator locale: en_CA. Suggested application display locale: en-CA. These are separate settings; this guide does not change the generator’s output.

Address reference for Canada

Canadian postal codes alternate letters and digits in two groups of three. The UPU layout places municipality, province or territory abbreviation and postal code on the same line.

Alternating postal characters and province codes

Test a Canadian form immediately after a US form to reveal a leftover numeric-only ZIP rule. Add a French-language accent fixture even when the generator is configured for English Canada.

A deliberate regression fixture

Editorial regression fixture — shape and preservation tests only
country: CA
postal_shape: "A9A 9A9" (A = letter, 9 = digit)
province: "QC"
expected: Allow the alternating letter/digit shape and retain the province as a distinct value.

These editorial inputs are for controlled tests. They are not verified addresses, guaranteed unassigned contact details, or automatically generated examples.

  1. 01

    Fixture assertion

    Allow the alternating letter/digit shape and retain the province as a distinct value.

  2. 02

    Original text

    Add the hand-written input “Québec” and compare it after saving, copying and CSV import. It is an editorial string, not promised generator output.

  3. 03

    Locale and coverage

    Test en-CA display separately from the stored date-only value. Keep the generated locality coverage note with the record; the address reference does not expand Genory’s dataset.

Address reference: UPU addressing guide: Canada. Reviewed 4 October 2026. Postal presentation rules are not universal rules for storing personal names.
