It's their equivalent to the U.S. zip code. If you know the address, you can look up the postal code on this website:

a postal code in canada is the same as a zip code in the united states except set up different but they do the same thing. Like in canada they include number and letters but in the us it is only number.

Canada uses postal codes instead of zip codes, but it's essentially the same thing.

Just like cities in the US, the postal codes in Canada vary from province to province and city to city.

basically same as U.S. Zipcode
But it is a combination of six letters and numbers, so it is much less precise. The U.S. zipcode scheme is based on nine numbers -- 12345-1234 -- which means the "+4" number can pinpoint spots down to well inside of a mile of accuracy (depending on the density of the area). But only the first 5 digits are needed for mail delivery.
