Proper usage of address in Canada and the U.K.?

Question

I'm confused how canada and the u.k. would write there address...

correct me if i'm wrong..

I live in North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

(can't ontario be removed? or what's the proper term for that, suppose that i live in North York which is a part of toronto in the province of ontario lying in canada) how about if i live in the city?

wouldn't it be... tORONTO CITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO, CNADA?

how about in the United Kingdom?

i live in Sutton, London, England, United Kingdom? is this right?

Answer 1

As long as you have the postal code, it doesn't matter if you write both Sutton and London.  It's kind of redundant, though.  For the Toronto address, if North York is a *neighbourhood* of Toronto, then you don't add that, you'd just put 'Toronto'.  Same for pretty much anywhere in the world.

Actual city name, province/state, country, postal code.

The postal code is what will 'target' the exact area, anyway.

Answer 2

they'd both be the same its now an international standard

Name

street address

City, Province, Country then Postal Code

so

Joe Blow

123 anywhere street,

Toronto, On, Canada  L3Y 4W1

You could probably get away without the province but it may send your mail to the mnaul sort pile which may delay it.  

Answer 3

As far as I know, you don't have to put 'Toronto'. When I write my address or any address(I live in Montreal), I just put the district of the city I live in, and don't put 'Montreal' at all. And you can abbreviate Ontario to ON, like QC for Quebec.

I'm not sure about the UK address though, sorry.
