Database of Completed Applications for Review and Notifications
A list of completed decisions and certified investment notifications filed by non-Canadians under the Investment Canada Act is published online each month. This database contains only the information that may be disclosed under the Act:
- The name and address of the Investor, with the country of origin of its ultimate controller;
- The name, city and province of the Canadian business; and
- A brief description of the Canadian business activities.
Entries in the database include three investment filing types:
- Approved applications for net benefit review;
- Certified notifications for the acquisition of a Canadian business;
- Certified notifications for the establishment of a new Canadian business.
Approved applications for net benefit review are published in the month in which the decision was issued by the Minister. Notifications are published in the month in which the filings were certified as complete; they do not require Ministerial decision. Notifications are listed under two categories: Notification – acquisition and Notification – new business.
Please note that, for commercial confidentiality reasons, the publication of certain notifications may be delayed beyond the month of certification.
Should you require additional information about this publication, please contact the Investment Review Division.
