More than 18 million map-ready civic address locations across Canada.
Aeroview supplies nationwide urban and rural coverage for geocoding, delivery operations, network planning, insurance, analytics and other location-dependent applications. Monthly updates and flexible delivery options help enterprise teams work with a current, production-ready national address layer.
Aeroview maintains Canadian civic address coverage across every province and territory, including major metropolitan areas, smaller municipalities, rural communities and northern regions. The national product combines address information from provincial, territorial and municipal sources into a consistent delivery structure.
Coverage depth varies with the information maintained by each source. National coverage therefore does not mean that every building, secondary unit or unnumbered structure has a separate record. Postal-code centroids and stand-alone P.O. boxes are not substitutes for physical civic address points. Unit details and postal codes are included where available from the contributing source or Aeroview enrichment process.

The standard schema connects a civic address to a geographic point and a persistent Aeroview record identifier. Exact field availability varies by jurisdiction, and a current data dictionary is supplied for evaluation and integration.
Aeroview prioritizes source-provided civic locations and building-level placement. Depending on the jurisdiction and source, a point may represent a rooftop or building location, a primary entrance or access location, a parcel-related location, or another authoritative civic position. These distinctions matter for routing, underwriting and site-level analysis, so the current specification and sample should be reviewed for the areas important to your project.
Address components are standardized into a consistent national structure, including civic numbers, street elements, province or territory codes and postal-code formatting. Exact and near-matching records are reviewed using both address attributes and spatial position so overlapping sources can be reconciled while distinct units and valid alternate entrances remain identifiable where supported.
Monthly updates are available for workflows that depend on current address assignments and new development. Quarterly delivery can also be scheduled where a less frequent refresh is operationally sufficient. Full replacement files and change-oriented delivery can be scoped to the client implementation, and each delivery includes a defined release date and technical specification.
The delivery schedule describes how often Aeroview publishes the product. Individual contributing authorities update on their own cycles, so not every jurisdiction changes in every monthly release.
Standard delivery formats include Esri Shapefile, File Geodatabase, CSV, GeoJSON and KML. REST API access is also available. GeoPackage, Parquet and direct database delivery can be arranged for enterprise implementations that require a different schema, partitioning method or loading workflow.
The technical specification confirms the coordinate reference system, character encoding, field definitions, null handling, file organization and delivery method. Aeroview can prepare a representative sample in the intended format so the client can test loading, indexing and spatial performance before purchase.
Aeroview offers licensing for internal enterprise systems, analytics, commercial applications and SaaS platforms. Terms are structured around the licensed geography, users or systems, update period, delivery method and external use. Public display, derived products, affiliate or contractor access, raw-data redistribution and resale are addressed explicitly in the agreement.
For a tailored quote, provide the required geography, use case, number of users or systems, preferred format, refresh schedule and whether the address information will appear in an external product or service.
Aeroview currently maintains more than 18 million Canadian civic address locations. The exact total changes as new addresses are added, corrected or retired. Request the current release summary for the effective date and province or territory counts.
Yes. The national product covers all 10 provinces and 3 territories, with both urban and rural address locations. Coverage density and available attributes vary by jurisdiction, so clients should evaluate the current sample and coverage report for their priority areas.
Our standard is to position each point on the rooftop or at the most representative building location wherever one exists. For addresses where a rooftop is not the appropriate reference – such as vacant parcels, rural properties, large campuses or locations defined by an entrance – the point is placed at the best available physical location for that address. Current release documentation and sample data allow clients to confirm that the positioning meets their operational requirements.
Core fields include civic number, street components, community or municipality, province or territory, postal code where available, record identifier and coordinates. Standard formats include Shapefile, File Geodatabase, CSV, GeoJSON and KML, with REST API and custom enterprise delivery options available.
Aeroview updates and maintains the Canadian address database nationally every month. Each monthly cycle incorporates the latest postal-code information, newly assigned civic addresses, corrections to existing records, street and community changes, and improved point placement. This ongoing maintenance keeps the database aligned with new development and changes across Canada’s addressing landscape.
Yes. Aeroview supports commercial application and SaaS licensing as well as internal enterprise use. The written licence defines permitted display, storage, caching, sharing, derived works and redistribution.
