Autonomous measures are a specific source family
The ca-autonomous source uses Global Affairs Canada’s consolidated autonomous sanctions XML. Its scope is the listed Special Economic Measures Act and Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act measures. It is not the entire Canadian United Nations Act sanctions regime.
Canada describes the consolidated list as an administrative aid that may lag regulations and has no force of law. A potential match needs review against the relevant regulations. The service must not present a download time as proof that every legal change is already reflected.
Preserve legal item identity
The adapter derives stable record identity from the regulation or country label, schedule, and legal item. It does not use a changing spreadsheet row number as the sole identity. Original names and available facts remain connected to that source record.
The Canadian source profile reports records, refresh information, and original references. Retain the regulation, schedule, and item behind a potential match so a reviewer can consult the relevant legal text. A current file check and a current legal assessment remain distinct questions.
Choosing available coverage
Choose the sources relevant to your workflow from current coverage. The directory shows available sources, record counts, and successful refresh times. The public demonstration and sandbox use invented records; production requests use the coverage you select.
Use source discovery to select named sources or a versioned package. Requested sources that are unknown, unavailable, or too stale cause an explicit error. SanctionsKit does not silently remove them from your request or report an incomplete check as a no-match result.
