Question

Do i have to put america or usa on my letter? (i live in canada)?

Answer 1

The appropriate format would include putting "USA" on your letter.  If you forget it the letter will probably get there however it may take longer.  I do not know if our postal people are more aware than those in the US.  Where I worked we once received a letter mailed from Arizona to British Columbia that took 6 months to get here.  It went via Bogota, Columbia in South America.  The people addressing it forgot to put "Canada" on it and sent it to "British Columbia".

"America" is part of the name of the continent we live on, not the country to the south of us although most people, on hearing that name, will think of the United States.  It is not, however, an official designation for the purposes of mailing a letter or dealing with any legal documents.

Answer 2

You should put USA if you are sending a letter to the states from Canada.

Answer 3

No, you live on the North American continent, but you live in Canada, not America.

Answer 4

none you put the place that you live in and then Canada you only put USA to the place your sending it to =]
