† Nunavut had only rural postal codes. All postal codes beginning with X0A or X0B or X0C are for Nunavut and only Nunavut.
Notes: Census subdivision (CSD) types defined as follows: HAM=Hamlet; T=Town; SET=Settlement; SUN=Subdivision of unorganized area; TI=Terre inuite (Inuit lands); TR=Terres réservées; UNO=Unorganized area; VN=Village nordique (Nordic village); VC=Village cri (Cree village). Asterisks (******) in the postal code field means no postal code assigned for this unorganized and essentially unpopulated area. For most of these communities, 1991 and 1996 CSD codes were identical. Exceptions were 1996 CSD 6108095 (Holman) became 2001 CSD 6107095 (now Ulukhaktok), and the first two digits of each CSD in what is now Nunavut changed from "61" in the 1996 CSD to "62" in the 2001 CSD . To use these CSD -based definitions with vital statistics birth, death or stillbirth records, vital statistics geographic codes must first be translated to census standard geographic codes for the nearest census year or 'vintage,' since the vital statistics geographic codes contain various kinds of non-standard codes, including codes specific to vital statistics, inter-censal revised codes, and codes from previous vintages of census standards. Postal codes are shown for reference only, since death data for the northern territories frequently lacked postal codes, so only census subdivision codes (which were always present) were used in the definitions of Inuit-inhabited areas.
