CAPostalCode

Guesses the Canadian province or territory (region) based on the postal code.

For provinces and Yukon, it will guess based on the first letter. For Northwest Territories and Nunavut, it will check the first two or three characters.

Usage

# => "QC"

CAPostalCode.guess_region("X0C 1A1")
# => "NU"

CAPostalCode.guess_region("B6A 1A1")
# => "NS"
