Current database of the Nominatim search is from March 2nd (See top 
center here: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/

I guess you are referring to 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/597832654 though which is an 
older entry. When I search in Nominatim for "K1E3P6, Canada" I get a 
result and it looks like the correct location for me. Keep in mind that 
"ca" is not a country name.
