For Realtors
Status Certificate Package Check
Upload the unit's status certificate, on its own or with its attachments in one file. The report shows what the certificate discloses as of its date, and the figures the attachments support when they are included.
Automated document analysis. It does not advise your client whether to buy.
$24.99 CAD per review. You pay after we accept your documents.
How to get the status certificate
- Ask the seller's realtor or the seller's lawyer for the complete, current Status Certificate Package, not just the certificate form.
- A certificate on its own is enough for this check. Its attachments (the budget, the audited financial statements, the reserve fund information, notices of fee increases or special assessments) let the report cover more.
- If something is missing, outdated or unclear, ask the seller's side for a complete, current package. Legal interpretation should come from a lawyer.

Your report
Optional: check the corporation in the CAO Condo Registry
The Condominium Authority of Ontario keeps a free public registry of condominium corporations. You can use it to check that the corporation in your documents is the one you mean.
You entered:
Condominium Authority of Ontario Open the CAO Condo Registry (opens in a new tab)
- Search by the corporation's legal name and region. The corporation number is part of the legal name.
- Compare the corporation number, the legal name and the address with your documents.
- The Registry lists an address for service. It can be a management office and not the building.
This step is optional. It is about the corporation's identity only. It does not check your fees, the reserve fund or anything else in the report, and it does not change the report. CAO does not review or approve this report.
Your documents
Each document can be one PDF (up to 50 MB), or photos of its pages (JPEG or PNG, up to 60 pages). Scanned pages and photos of pages are counted together: up to 60 in one document, and up to 120 in the whole check.
You sent the fee schedule, not the approved budget. Your report will not compare this year's reserve contribution with the study's recommendation. If you have the budget, add it above.

Where should we send your report?
We will email you a link to your report when it is ready.
We use it only to send your report.
Your report is prepared from the documents you uploaded. After you start, they cannot be changed.
The report cannot guarantee that the reserve fund will be sufficient in the future, predict whether a special assessment will be required, or judge whether the unit’s fee is too low, too high or in line. It reads what the status certificate and its attachments disclose about the unit and the corporation, compares the figures they state, and reports what the documents do not establish.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to upload?
The status certificate for the unit. You can upload it on its own or with its attachments in the same file. The page tells you whether the file was accepted before you pay.
When do I pay?
After your documents are accepted. The price is $24.99 CAD per review.
Can I use it for a buyer who has not made an offer yet?
Yes, if you have the unit's status certificate. The report reads the documents you add. It does not tell your client whether to buy.
What if the certificate comes without its attachments?
A status certificate on its own is enough to start. The report covers what it discloses, and anything the documents do not show is stated as not established.
Is the sample report a real client's report?
No. It was generated from fictional condo documents by the same process as a paid report.
