The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s list of organisations registered to offer telecommunications services in Canada. Registration is mandatory before an organisation may offer service and is free; it is a registration rather than a licence, and carrying traffic internationally requires a separate BITS licence.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Not established The overall access position has not been established from an official source. It is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be open.
Assessment
Strengths
The registration duty is stated plainly by the Commission: an organisation must register before it can offer or provide customers with telecommunications services.
The stated scope is broad and explicit, covering local voice, Voice over IP, internet, long distance, wireless and payphone services.
Registration is free, so the list is not filtered by ability to pay a fee.
The Commission publishes a companion list of providers removed from the registration lists, with a reason, so a disappearance can be traced rather than merely noticed.
Limitations
This is a REGISTRATION, not a licence. The Commission grants nothing on registering, and an entry is not an authorisation to carry traffic internationally — that requires a separate BITS licence.
The Commission states that the information "has been provided by external sources" and that it "is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability or currency" of it, so an entry is a provider’s own submission rather than a verified fact.
Registration says nothing about technical quality, solvency, or compliance with obligations other than the duty to register, and it does not establish that a provider is currently offering service.
Absence does not establish that an organisation may not operate. Exemptions exist, and a provider removed from the list appears on the separate withdrawn-and-incomplete list rather than here.
The list is rendered by JavaScript and showed only a loading state to the client used for verification, so no entry, count or coverage was observed and none is asserted.

Best for
Checking whether an organisation has registered with the Commission before offering telecommunications services in Canada.
Understanding the Canadian registration duty, which reaches local voice, VoIP, internet, long distance, wireless and payphone services.
Not recommended for
Treating registration as a licence. Registration is free and mandatory; carrying traffic internationally requires a separate BITS licence.
Relying on the entries as accurate or current. The Commission expressly disclaims responsibility for the accuracy, reliability and currency of the data.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
