HarbourClose uses PPSACanada to request factual searches from the applicable Canadian personal-property registry. You confirm exactly what will be searched before the request is submitted.

What can be searched

A precise search begins with the correct type, jurisdiction, and confirmed subject information.

Individual debtor

Search the selected provincial or territorial registry using the person’s confirmed full legal name.

Specific individual

Include the confirmed legal name and date of birth when the jurisdiction and search type require it.

Business debtor

Search using the business’s exact registered legal name in the selected jurisdiction.

Serial number

Search eligible serial-numbered collateral using the confirmed HIN, trailer VIN, or other applicable identifier.

How a PPSA search works

Nothing is searched automatically. You confirm the exact query and any applicable price before HarbourClose submits the request.

  1. 1.Choose the search

    Select the search type and the province or territory whose registry should be searched.

  2. 2.Confirm the subject

    Review the exact legal name, date of birth, HIN, VIN, or serial number before anything is submitted.

  3. 3.Confirm the price

    Confirm the search included with Basic Documents, or review the price for every additional or standalone search.

  4. 4.Receive the result

    HarbourClose records the factual result and keeps the returned report with the applicable file.

Understanding your result

The report records what the selected registry returned for the exact query that was submitted. HarbourClose keeps the result and confirmed search details together so the buyer and seller can see what was searched.

A PPSA search is not legal advice, lien resolution, a lender release, or a clean-title guarantee. A known loan, lien, payout, or title concern needs Guided Process or Boat Sale with a Coordinator rather than Basic Documents.
