CA-MB covers entities registered in Manitoba. In Canada a company is incorporated either federally or in one province or territory, and each keeps its own register. A federal corporation that registers in Manitoba keeps its own record in Canada (Federal): its Manitoba registration is returned here flagged as such, with the federal corporation number and Business Number to use with countryCode: "CA-FED". CA on its own is not a jurisdiction.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Extra-provincial registrations	A corporation incorporated federally or in another province also has a Manitoba registry number. Its legal form is extra-provincial (standardized by its own form, for example `Corporation`), it carries no incorporation date, `status.statusDetails.additionalInfo` names its home jurisdiction and number, and `businessNumber` links it to the home record.
Registered office city only	Company data publishes the city of the registered office, not the street address.
No people	Directors and officers are not offered yet: the register lists them only on a report.
No shareholders, no beneficial owners	The Companies Office publishes neither.
No activity codes	The register publishes no industry classification.

Data Availability

`legalRepresentatives`	Not yet	Not offered yet: the register lists directors and officers only on a report.
