How Canadian Business Records Work
Business records are Canada's most open category. Corporations Canada's federal database confirms any federally incorporated company free of charge — status, directors, and filings. Each province runs its own registry for provincially incorporated companies and business names.
Bankruptcies and insolvencies are searchable nationally through the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy ($8 per search; large-company CCAA proceedings listed free). Securities filings for public companies are free on SEDAR+. The directory below links the federal, provincial, and regulatory sources.
