Limitations

• Provincial company coverage is limited

  Covers federally incorporated companies — provincially registered businesses may have limited information

  What to do instead: For provincial companies, supplement with the relevant provincial registry (e.g., Ontario ONBIS, BC Registry)

• Named directors are not included

  Director names are not included. `director_limits` gives the minimum and maximum permitted by the articles, rather than the current number of directors.

  What to do instead: Order a corporate profile from Corporations Canada, or check the corporation's own filings

• Name and number lookups use different methods

  Corporation-number and business-number lookups read the official API directly. Name lookups extract results from the Corporations Canada website using AI and can return less precise fields.

  What to do instead: Provide the corporation number for a fully algorithmic answer

• Name history can be incomplete

  `name_history` can contain only the current name even when the registry’s activity history records a name change. An empty list does not prove that the company has never been renamed.

  What to do instead: Check the corporation's activity history on Corporations Canada for name-change events

• API responses are limited to 4 MiB

  API response bodies above 4 MiB are refused during download rather than parsed.
