Limitations

Covers federally incorporated companies — provincially registered businesses may have limited information
From step: Canadian Company Data
What to do instead: For provincial companies, supplement with the relevant provincial registry (e.g., Ontario ONBIS, BC Registry)
Director names are not included. `director_limits` gives the minimum and maximum permitted by the articles, rather than the current number of directors.
From step: Canadian Company Data
What to do instead: Order a corporate profile from Corporations Canada, or check the corporation's own filings
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.
From step: Canadian Company Data
What to do instead: Provide the corporation number for a fully algorithmic answer
`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.
From step: Canadian Company Data
What to do instead: Check the corporation's activity history on Corporations Canada for name-change events
API response bodies above 4 MiB are refused during download rather than parsed.
From step: Canadian Company Data
Sanctions lists updated daily from OFAC, EU, and UN sources — newly sanctioned entities may take up to 24 hours to appear
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: For same-day compliance, subscribe to OFAC's RSS feed and cross-reference against today's additions
Name matching uses fuzzy logic — common names may produce false positives. Always verify flagged results
From step: Sanctions Check
What to do instead: Filter results by match confidence score and verify flagged entities against the primary sanctions list PDF
Covers entities with LEI registration via GLEIF — only ~2.5 million entities worldwide have LEIs, primarily financial institutions
From step: LEI Lookup
What to do instead: If no LEI is found, search by company name and jurisdiction; consider that smaller entities may not have an LEI
