Canada Consolidated Autonomous Sanctions List (SEMA)
Sanctions & watchlists About sanctions data →
Sanctions list Canada's Consolidated Autonomous Sanctions List, maintained by Global Affairs Canada as an administrative convenience list of persons under the Special Economic Measures Act and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act. It does not cover all United Nations Act regulations or Criminal Code terrorist entities, and the underlying law controls.
A match is an entry on Global Affairs Canada's official administrative list. The list has no force of law and may lag amendments, so review the cited regime and operative regulation before deciding the legal restriction; escalate it as a genuine screening signal rather than treating the list entry itself as the binding instrument.
5,707 canonical entities are backed by this source, issued by Global Affairs Canada.
