About Advan Weekly Patterns+ POI_CBG field (CA)

Hi all,

I’m working with the Canadian portion of Weekly Patterns+ and noticed something unusual in the POI_CBG field. Some of the values have more than 8 digits, even though Canadian dissemination areas are always 8 digits.

Has anyone knows why certain POI_CBG entries would exceed the standard DA length? I’m trying to understand what these longer codes represent.

Any insight would be really helpful. Thanks!
