What it checks

• Corporations Canada – federal corporations (status, corporation & business number, last annual filing)
• OrgBook BC – BC registration status
• Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia – provincial registration status via ISED's free federated Canada's Business Registries search (each match carries a province code)
• Consolidated Canadian Autonomous Sanctions List (Global Affairs Canada)
• CRA List of Charities – registered charity status
• City of Vancouver – business licences and issued building permits (by name or street address)

Input

{ "name": "Shopify Inc." }

Optional: number (federal corp no., 9-digit BN, BC id like BC0943976, charity BN), address (Vancouver street address), provinces – limit provincial search, e.g. ["ON","QC"] (default all six), or checks – a batch list of {name, number, address} objects.
