Raw data in text format

This tool is intended for database managers. It is much larger (more than 214,000 lines) and has no pre-programmed functions. It is mainly used to supply databases in which the search functions are already programmed.

The untreated data file includes all the information for each postal code, i.e.:

• the postal code;
• the electoral division (the code and name);
• the municipality (the code, name and designation);
• the RCM (the code and name);
• the administrative region (the code and name);
• the new electoral division (the code and name). These two columns will remain blank until those of the new electoral map are adopted.

The untreated data are transferred in the form of a delineated file (the delineator is the semicolon). The file includes a line of titles and each entry is found after the title line.
