Forward Sortation Area boundary files 2016

Question
A researcher is looking for the Forward Sortation Area (FSA) boundary file (shapefile) for 2016. These are available on the StatsCan website for 2011, but do not appear for 2016.

Is there someone who knows how I could get a hold of these data for this reference request?

Answer
If your institution has a subscription to DMTI Spatial data, the v2016.3 CanMap Postal Code Suite has FSA boundaries.

Subject matter confirm that the FSA boundary file is not yet available. The date for its release is still pending.
