Why is it the address format for Canada follows the form of :
Addressee, Office#, Building#, Street/Ave, City, Postal/Zip Code, Country
Where as Americans will write their address
Addressee, Street/Ave, Building#, Office#, City, Postal/Zip Code, Country.
In other words, Canada starts off at the smallest point of reference, and expands on it, where the American system starts at the street level with the actual location thrown almost as an afterthought.
Examples are:
490 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, Ontario K1N 1G8
Canada
Two Prudential Plaza
180 North Stetson Avenue, Suite 2400
Chicago, IL 60601
