Address changes

Q: My postal code is generating an error. What should I do?

A: Canada Post updates its postal code database frequently. However, if your postal code is not yet available, you will not be able to update your address using My VAC Account. If this applies to you, please contact us and we can manually update your address information for you.

Q: When should I add a temporary address?

A: Providing a temporary address is helpful if you plan to be away from your home for 3 months or longer. The temporary address feature is for VAC's information only and does not change your home or mailing addresses. If you would like your mail re-routed to the temporary address, please contact us.
