Express NCOA can now update your Canadian mailing lists with the latest mover information and prepare your mail to qualify for discounted postage rates using Canada Post’s Incentive Lettermail, Addressed Admail and Publication Mail services

Address Accuracy corrects and standardizes your Canadian addresses to meet the Addressing requirements of Canada Post Corporation (CPC). Addresses are corrected by fixing misspellings, stripping out unnecessary punctuation marks, verifying the city, province and postal code. We also fill in missing address elements where possible such as addresses that are not assigned postal codes. Your address file can then be matched against CPC’s National Change of Address database to provide you with new addresses of Canadians that have moved.

We also offer (as additional services) Merge Purge and Postal Presortation to remove duplicates and presort your mailing for insertion into the Canadian mail stream using the service of your choice.

To qualify for Incentive Lettermail, Addressed Admail and Publication Mail rates, mailers must meet certain Canada Post Corporation "Address Accuracy Program" requirements (This is similar to the USPS® requirement of utilizing CASS™ certified address matching software). The Address Accuracy standard in Canada is 95%, which means that at least 95% of the addresses on a mailing list must be valid addresses. This standard must be achieved otherwise a rate adjustment is applied to the mail pieces with inaccurate addresses. We process and standardize a mailing list through Canada Post recognized Address Validation and Correction software, and a Statement of Accuracy (SOA) is provided to report the percentage of accurate addresses when mail is deposited with Canada Post. You are required to keep a valid copy of the SOA on file in the event Canada Post requests a copy. Mailers must also generate a new SOA once a year for each customer database or on the contents of a merged database.
