Validate a canadian postcode
The postal code is a six-character, uniformly structured alphanumeric code in the form of ANA NAN where "A" represents an alphabetic character and "N" represents a numeric character.
The postal code is made up of two segments:
The first, the Forward Sortation Area (FSA), is a combination of three characters (alpha - numeric - alpha).
It identifies a major geographic area in an urban or a rural location.
The third character of the FSA segment (M4B), in conjunction with the first two characters, describes an exact area of a city or town or other geographic area.
The second segment, Local Delivery Unit (LDU), is a combination of three characters (numeric - alpha - numeric).
It identifies the smallest delivery unit within a forward sortation area.
The LDU, identified by the last three characters of the postal code, allows for a final sort within an FSA.
In Urban Areas, the last three digits may indicate a specific city block (one side of a street between two intersecting streets), a single building or, in some cases, a large volume mail receiver.
In Rural Areas, the last three digits (LDU), together with the FSA, identify a specific Rural community.
First parameter of the method is the post code to validate.
An optional parameter for limite the request to a province.
