About whichregistry.ca

whichregistry.ca is an independent guide to Canada's business registries: the federal registry and the registry of every province and territory. It explains, in plain words, which registry to use, how to search it, what it costs and the steps to follow.

Where the facts come from

Every fee, portal and login rule comes from an official registry or government page, and every one links to that page. The full list of pages we read, how we read each one and when we last checked it is on the sources page.

How we keep them current

We re-check every source each quarter. A fact we could not confirm on an official page, or whose source we have not re-checked in 120 days, is marked "Confirm with the registry" until we do. Each page shows the date its facts were last verified.

What we are not

We are not a registry, a government office or a registry agent, and we cannot file anything for you.Read more about that.
