StatCan

Given an address or coordinates, Geocodio will return statistical boundaries from Statistics Canada.

API for Address or Coordinate to StatCan Boundaries

If you'd prefer to use an API, you can see our technical documentation here.

Cost

Requests are billed as geocode + StatCan info (i.e., two lookups). For example, if you have 100 addresses that you want StatCan boundaries for, that would count as 200 lookups.

You can calculate how much this will cost you and how long it will take here. Note that prices are in USD.
