aid: osfi url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/osfi/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: OSFI kind: company description: The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI / BSIF) is Canada's federal prudential regulator, supervising more than 400 federally regulated financial institutions and over 1,200 private pension plans. On the insurance side OSFI supervises federally regulated life insurance companies, property and casualty insurers, mortgage insurers and fraternal benefit societies for solvency and capital adequacy — issuing the LICAT, MCT and BAAT capital guidelines and collecting the LF1/LF2/LF3, PC1-PC4 and MI1-MI5 regulatory returns. It does NOT regulate market conduct; that sits with the provinces (FSRA in Ontario, AMF in Quebec), and Canada has no open-insurance mandate — Consumer-Driven Banking excludes insurance entirely. OSFI publishes no first-party developer portal and no OpenAPI — developer.osfi-bsif.gc.ca, api.osfi-bsif.gc.ca and docs.osfi-bsif.gc.ca do not resolve, and /developers, /api and /developer all return 404. Its real machine-readable surface is its insurance and banking regulatory data (FINDAT) plus the "Who we regulate" register, published as datastore-active datasets on Canada's Open Government portal and readable anonymously through the CKAN 3 Action API (datastore_search; the SQL passthrough datastore_search_sql is disabled on the portal) — OSFI ships a step-by-step API usage guide PDF with each dataset. The filing side (the Regulatory Reporting System) is institution-gated behind a Bank of Canada Connect login. Everything else is a documentation-and-rulebook corpus of 313 guidance-library pages and 142 financial reporting instruction pages. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Insurance - Canada - Regulator - Life Insurance - Property and Casualty - Financial Regulation - Prudential Supervision - Open Data - Risk Data - Market Infrastructure - Banking - Basel III - Capital Adequacy - Regulatory Reporting - Pensions created: '2026-07-25' modified: '2026-07-25' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: osfi:osfi-who-we-regulate-register name: OSFI Who We Regulate Register description: Public register of the federally regulated financial institutions OSFI supervises, including every federally regulated insurer with its Authorized Insurance Classes, FI industry group, trade name and principal representative.
