POCON cancels started to be used approximately in April 1973 - replacing the MOON system. Older (1970's & 1980's) POCON did not usually have a Postal Code included. P.O.C.O.N. (acronym for - Post Office Computer Organization Number) cancellation are in the shape of an arch, circle, graphic, rectangle, or a square, with a 6-digit number, a town or office name, a Postal Code (if shown) and a date.

Retail Postal Outlet”(RPO) - A Canada Post retail facility which may be either Canada Post or privately owned / operated. Privately owned facilities may be located in a host business, such as a commercial store.

*RPO stands for Retail Post Office which is a franchise post office staffed by private outlet store employees like a drug store and is differentiated from CRO which is a Corporate Retail Office staffed by Canada Post employees. RPO workers generally make barely over minimum wage and don't get much if any proper training and generally would not know or care about the subtleties of formatting your address, all they know is what they printed off for you when you opened your box.
