# Canada (Northwest Territories) — CROS-RSEL NT Lookup

**Live, direct-to-government access to Corporate Registries Online System (CROS-RSEL) — NWT Department of Justice.**

> Single-country variant of the cross-border [Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker](../ubo-cross-border-chain-walker/SKILL.md). Use this skill when the user is explicitly focused on **Canada (Northwest Territories)**.

## What you get

- **Direct query to CROS-RSEL NT.** Every tool call hits Corporate Registries Online System (CROS-RSEL) — NWT Department of Justice at the moment you ask. No nightly scrape, no aggregator middle layer.
- **Unmodified responses.** Field names, status codes, and (where available) raw filing bytes are returned exactly as the registry's own system emits them.
- **Native ID format support.** NT corporate registry number.
- **Sample entity:** An NT-incorporated company.

## Available tools (jurisdiction = `CA-NT`)

`search_companies`

For every tool, pass `jurisdiction: "CA-NT"` (case-insensitive).

## Example prompts

```
Search NT corporate registry for a company name
```

```
Confirm an NT-registered name's existence
```

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Resolve the entity
```
search_companies({ jurisdiction: "CA-NT", query: "<name or ID>" })
get_company_profile({ jurisdiction: "CA-NT", company_id: "<id>" })
```

### Step 2 — Pull the relevant register slice
Pick from the available tools list above. For UBO walks across borders, return to the [Cross-Border UBO Chain Walker](../ubo-cross-border-chain-walker/SKILL.md).

## Quirks specific to Canada (Northwest Territories)

- Smallest jurisdiction in our coverage — search-only; full profiles and filings require manual submission to NT Department of Justice.
- Common for resource-extraction (mining) and Indigenous corporations operating in the NT.
- Federal Canadian (CBCA) and other provincial corps that operate in NT must register separately as extra-provincial.
