I'm planning to build a Geocoding database for Canada. The goal is that - the database should be able to provide latitude and longitude for any given street level address in Canada. A similar implementations for USA (Geocoder::US 2.0, jGeocoder ) uses US Census Data (Tiger).
Provincial Base Mapping Data Sources in Canada provides a list of data sources for Canada (both nation wide and provincial based). I couldn't find anywhere is a discussion about the quality of these sources. Also I don't have much time to go through all of them in detail and pick the best.
If anyone had done similar research before about various geo-spatial/geo location sources of Canada for similar implementation. Or if found any similar implementations/attempts some where on web. Guide me please. Any suggestions regarding my goal are also appreciated.
Note: I don't want any suggestions for services that can help like Google API, yahoo place finder etc.
