A quick question about this address

[gprime]

Everyone I've asked in real life hasn't been sure either, so, why not ask the internet?

I'm giving away stuff for a contest and someone gave me their address that looks like the following (actual number are changed):

#1234 5678 - 90 Ave.

Would this be Unit/Apt 1234 of building 5678 90th Ave (or.. 90 Ave)?

Just need to make sure before I ship this off! (CanadaPost.ca makes you fill in address, apt #, etc.)

Yes. Apt then Street Address then name of Street.

# A unit number is placed before the civic number with a hyphen between, OR after the street type, using an acceptable unit identifier (ex. APT 10). Please see Unit Designators for a list. The unit information may be placed on the line above the street information if space is an issue.
# The civic number is the official number assigned to an address by the municipality.
# When a civic number suffix is present, there is no space when it is alpha (123A), and there is one space when it is a fraction (123 1/2).
# The street name is the official name recognized by each municipality and cannot be translated. (Ex.: Main is not Principale.) There is no space between a numerical street name with an ordinal or an alphanumeric character. (Ex.: 2ND ST or 36A ST). When the street name is numeric, there is only one space (no hyphen) between the civic number and the street name. (Ex.: 123 22ND AVE).
# The street type is provided by the municipality. Common abbreviations should be used. Please see Street Types below for a complete list. In some instances, the street type is also the street name (THE PARKWAY). The only street types that may be translated are:
ST = RUE
AVE = AV
BLVD = BOUL

A French street type is placed before the street name, unless it is an ordinal number (1re, 2e, PREMIÈRE, DEUXIÈME, etc.)
# The street direction uses the common one- or two-letter abbreviation. Please see Street Directions for a complete list.
# The official municipality name, as provided to Canada Post, the official abbreviation of the municipality, or an official alternate name, must be used and cannot be translated. (Ex.: TROIS-RIVIÈRES is not THREE RIVERS.)
# The province should always be presented using the recognized two-digit symbol. Please see Province and Territory Symbols for a complete listing. Mailers may wish to have the province written in full and placed in brackets. Ex.: (Québec)
# The postal code must be in upper case and placed two spaces to the right of the province with one space between the first three and last three characters.

Wow, thanks! Tons of information there. :)

EDIT (off topic):

I shipped to everyone else but this guy until I could confirm his address. It's strange how shipping a DVD to England, Mexico, Australia, and just about anywhere in the world is $5.50, but to Edmonton it costs $9.50. How does that work.
