This operation performs basic checks on user-supplied inputs; Address1, Address2, Municipality, Province or Postal Code and returns verified Address, Municipality, Province, and Postal Code in Canadian address recommended format which is uppercased. There is also a method to return proper cased addresses by appending “-Proper” to the language parameter (e.g Language=EN-Proper). This operation also returns the time zone and a check if the supplied location is a P.O. Box, General Delivery, or Rural Route. This operation requires either a Postal Code or both Municipality and Province.  Providing all inputs is recommended because it helps the validation proceed if some of the elements are malformed.
