The VerifyAddressAdvanced optional return data is available for US
addresses only. Setting the optional parameters to "true" when using
Canadian address input will return null values.
When verifying a Canadian address, the API will only verify the city,
state, and zip code.
The province name must be abbreviated in order for PAV to append a
missing zip code to a verified Canadian address. The following are
Canadian provinces/territories and their abbreviations.
