This is the official release of the Postal Code OM Conversion File Plus (PCCF+) version 8D based on the 2021 Census.  This file reflects postal code data from the Canada Post Corporation up to and including December 2025.

The Postal Code OM Conversion File Plus (PCCF+) is a SAS© control program (including an accompanied R gamma version) and set of associated datasets derived from the Postal Code OM Conversion File (PCCF), a postal Code OM population weight file, the Geographic Attribute File, Health Region boundary files, and other supplementary data. PCCF+ automatically assigns a range of Statistics Canada’s standard geographic areas and other geographic identifiers based on postal codes. The PCCF+ differs from the PCCF in that it uses population-weighted random allocation for postal codes that link to more than one geographic area.
