Geocoding API - Canadian Postal Code

Question

I am passing a Canadian Postal Code and expecting to receive the corresponding Province and City/Town. For the most part it is working, the Province is returned. However, there are times that the correct city or no city are returned.

Example: Postal Code N0L0B2 corresponds to Glencoe, Ontario. However, GeoCode API does not return any city.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=N0L0B2&region=CA&key=KEY_VALUE

T0H 2N2: Corresponds to Northern Sunrise County but API returns Clairmont.

Question 1: Am I invoking API correctly by passing postal code only? That's the only piece of info that I have.

Thanks,

Jesse
