Most of this data is tightly controlled by the individual jurisdiction. It is the nature of our constitution that creates a division of powers. Also the Canadian market is not large enough to make it commercially viable for online aggregators to make public records available online even if the the governments would allow it. You also have to be careful to understand what is made public on the Internet is usually not the complete record. This is particularly true with corporate records. Your best route is to develop a relationship with a reputable public record researcher, or better yet several. The maritime provinces and Quebec offer their own unique challenges. Jeff:
