How can I add a Canadian zip code?

The parent company is in Canada. I was able to use it last year but it won't this year. Should I instead use the state and zip code of the US location where I am working?

Canada doesn't use zip codes.  It uses international postal codes.

When you enter the W-2, choose the option to enter a foreign address, so the data field will change to "Postal Code?"

See the screen shot below which shows how to enter a W-2 that has a foreign employer address.
