Your decision

What would the exclusivity be resting on?

A request for exclusivity rests on claims about the reseller's activity, customers and standing. The review tests what public sources show about operational footprint and commercial reputation and marks the claims no source supports.

Claims that no independent source confirms are described as the company's own statement and carry the label unavailable.

What the sources establish

Cited statements: Canada

Federal lookup

Corporations Canada describes its federal corporations database as the source to confirm the existence of a corporation created under a federal corporate law, and the search can be run by corporate name, corporation number or business number (BN).

Coverage boundary

Corporations Canada states that its database does not include corporations created under provincial or territorial corporate laws, and refers users to Canada's Business Registries for those.

Data services

Corporations Canada's data services page offers a downloadable dataset and a Federal Corporation API giving real-time access to federal corporation data including status, registered office address and directors.

Significant control information

Corporations Canada states that corporations created under the Canada Business Corporations Act file information on their individuals with significant control (ISC) with Corporations Canada, and that some of the ISC information will be made available to the public.

Address for service

Corporations Canada states that an ISC may give an address for service if they do not want their residential address made public on Corporations Canada's website.
