No designated company found in the chain; the people in it are compared by name only

No company listed under this regime holds any share of the company, anywhere in the chain the registers state. Natural persons hold one holding in the chain, including 100% of the company directly. The registers publish no identifier that confirms who they are, so they were compared with designated persons by name only, and a name written differently in a register and on a list is not found.

Chain

Followed to its end

Nearest designated party

No designated company appears anywhere in the chain the registers state. Natural persons in the chain were compared with designated persons by name only.Found across every list on file, not only those this rule counts.

Notes

• Natural-person holders are compared with designated persons by name only. A match is reported and never counted, because the registers publish no identifier that could confirm it.

Holdings the result passes through

None: no holding carries a designated party's share down to the company.

Holdings read

1 holding was read in the chain, and its holder is not published as a company. Natural persons hold 1 of them, including 100% of the company directly. A verdict never keeps a person's name: a person appears in it as a holding of a stated share.

Listed parties in the chain

No company in the part of the chain that was followed carries a live listing.

Test

Canadian deemed ownership

Threshold

50% or more

Several designated owners

The texts read do not say. Each party is taken alone, and a result reached only by adding them goes to a reviewer.

A jointly held share

The texts read do not settle it, so a result that rests on one goes to a reviewer.

Control

Not assessed. A shareholder register shows shares, not board seats or agreements.

Caveats

• The company is not listed itself. The Act deems what a company controlled by a listed person owns to be owned by that person, so dealing in the company's property is dealing in the listed person's.
• The Act speaks of a person holding 50% or more. Neither the Act nor the guidance of Global Affairs Canada says whether the holdings of different listed persons are added together, so a result reached only by adding them goes to a reviewer.
• Global Affairs Canada's guidance, which it says is general information and not legal advice, reads control widely: considerable influence over a company's strategic decisions is enough, and in one of its scenarios so is a listed person on the board of a company's owner.
• The Act counts holdings held directly or indirectly, and deems what a controlled company owns, its own holdings included, to be the listed person's in full.
• Control without the threshold stake is part of this test and cannot be read from a shareholder register, so an outcome short of the threshold does not mean the company is not controlled.

Texts the rule rests on

• Special Economic Measures Act, S.C. 1992, c. 17, section 2.1 (added by S.C. 2023, c. 26, s. 253)

  Subsection 2.1(1): property owned, or held or controlled directly or indirectly, by an entity a person controls is deemed to be owned by that person. Subsection 2.1(2): the person controls the entity if (a) it holds, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the shares or ownership interests or of the voting rights, (b) it can change the composition or powers of the board, or (c) it can direct the entity's activities by any means

• Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Sergei Magnitsky Law), S.C. 2017, c. 21, section 2.01
