First of all, this question isn't in English. I take it that it's intended to read "Give me a Canadian ZIP Code"

Secondly, the question is apparently based on a total misconception -- ZIP Codes are US equivalent of postal codes used in other countries.

Thirdly, in most countries the postal codes serve a much more precise purpose than US postcodes. Within countries other than the US a letter will usually be delivered provided it has the name of the addressee and the correct postal code, because most countries' postal codes are precise enough to locate an address to just one part of an individual delivery route.

If you're looking for the US Postal Service's own ZIP Code for Canada it's 00101-*000.

You should understand that Canada is the biggest country in the world, very much larger than the USA and has a completely different culture, economy and for that matter currency. Things are done very differently in Canada and that includes the handling of mail.

Postal codes in Canada consist of a number between two letters, followed by a letter between two numbers and are written as two separate parts. The first part indicates that main mail center and the second part indicates the precise delivery point to a considerable degree of precision -- a few houses.

A Postal Code of V5L 2X3 indicates an address in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the West (Pacific) coast.
A Postal Code of C1A 5Y2 indicates an address in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on the East coast.

We have postal codes not zip codes. We have hundreds of them. If you go to the Canadian Postal site. You can find the one you want. You will need, the name of the street, city, Province and all that stuff. We are the largest country in the world. We do not have just one code.
