Quebec contractor-check research

Draft and unavailable. This page describes research progress. It does not provide a local conclusion or accept a paid order.

Future reports are intended to organize identity, public-record, paperwork, scope, payment, and unresolved-project evidence before a homeowner signs. Every source still needs applicability review, controlled wording, regression testing, named review, and expiry ownership.

Authoritative starting points

Sources currently registered

Inclusion means the source is part of the research draft. It does not mean every source applies to every contractor, trade, municipality, agreement, or project.

The contractor and the licence

Official licence-number and repertory starting point. Project work and subclass applicability require current qualified review.

statute

Consumer Protection Act

Primary statute. Do not classify the agreement, determine cancellation/remedies, or generate legal conclusions without qualified Québec application review. Availability note (2026-07-15): legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca returns CloudFront 403 to all automated checks (fetch, headless browser, monitor) — liveness must be confirmed in a normal browser; the CanLII mirror also blocks automation. Recurring monitor 403s on this domain are expected, not outages.

Compliance with rules for hiring, pay and mobility of employees

Right-to-work and employer verification starting point when CCQ construction-industry rules apply; trade jurisdiction, scope, exemptions, and mobility are specialized.

statute

Civil Code of Québec, article 2726

Primary-law pointer only. Never state that a construction legal hypothec exists or calculate its amount, priority, publication, preservation, or extinction. Availability note (2026-07-15): legisquebec blocks automated checks (CloudFront 403); confirm in a normal browser. Expected monitor 403s.

Charter of the French language

Primary statute for qualified operational review. `FRENCH-QUEBEC-OPS.md` controls the conservative parity release gate; the product does not generate compliance conclusions. Availability note (2026-07-15): legisquebec blocks automated checks (CloudFront 403); confirm in a normal browser. Expected monitor 403s.
