CA-NL covers companies incorporated in Newfoundland and Labrador. 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 Newfoundland and Labrador to do business there is a Canada (Federal) company: use countryCode: "CA-FED" and its corporation number. CA on its own is not a jurisdiction.

Data Sources

Source	Role	What it provides
Registry of Companies (Newfoundland and Labrador)	Primary register, read live	Search, company record, current directors
GLEIF	Supplementary	Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), when one matches the company number

Company data and directors come from one live read of the company’s public record on the Registry of Companies.

Company Identifiers

Identifier Type	Format	Example	Notes
Company number (`companyNumber`)	Up to 6 digits (e.g. 21782, 100547); some older registrations end with a letter (e.g. 4239F, 394I)	`21782`	Assigned by the Registry of Companies to every company it incorporates or registers, extra-provincial companies included. Same value as `company.id`.

Search Capabilities

Search Type	Example	Notes
By company number	`21782`, `4239F`	Exact match
By name	`Fortis`	The words of the query are matched anywhere in a current or former company name

Search reads the register live, returns inactive companies too (each with its status, so activeOnly=true filters them), and lists extra-provincial registrations alongside local companies. A single very common word can be refused by the register: add a word.

Quirks & Gotchas

Quirk	Details
Extra-provincial companies	A company incorporated elsewhere and registered in the province is returned as a registration, never as a Newfoundland and Labrador incorporation: `status.statusDetails.additionalInfo` states where it was incorporated, and a federal corporation is pointed to `CA-FED`. The register publishes neither its federal corporation number nor its Business Number.
Directors only, names only	The register lists the current directors of a company incorporated in the province, by name. Officers and addresses are not published, and no director is listed for an extra-provincial company.
Good standing	An active company “Not in Good Standing” (late annual returns) stays `active: true`; the mention is in `status.statusDetails.additionalInfo`.
Former names	Returned in `legacyLegalNames`.
No shareholders, no beneficial owners	The register keeps no shareholder list, and individuals with significant control are recorded by each company itself, not filed with the register.
No documents	Copies of filings are viewable only under a licence the Registrar grants to approved organizations.

Data Availability

Datapoint	Available	Notes
`company`	Yes	Name and former names, status, business type, incorporation and registration dates, registered office
`legalRepresentatives`	Yes	Current directors (names) of companies incorporated in the province
`shareholders`	No	Not kept by the register
