| Know before using | The company count is a changing platform claim. Search fields, profiles, certificates, locations, and account access do not independently verify the legal entity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, certificate validity or scope, compliance performance, delivery, or project fit. Confirm the site and subcontracting, credentials with issuers, samples, audits when appropriate, specifications, contracts, and commercial terms. | This is a mixed, paid-listing association directory, not a complete map of Canadian apparel production. A listing, membership, category, or company description does not establish Canadian manufacturing, current identity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, minimums, availability, compliance, or project fit. Confirm the actual production site, subcontracting, references, samples, terms, and credentials directly. |

| What the source establishes | FOURSOURCE's current public network page presents an operator-reported global company count and country or territory search. It says logged-in users can narrow results by compliance certificates, product groups, fabric types, target groups, minimum order quantities, and other fields, with a free-trial and supplier sign-up route. | The Canadian Apparel Federation's public directory currently includes apparel manufacturers, distributors, material and trim suppliers, logistics businesses, technology services, and other industry companies. Its listing page states that members may list free after membership approval, while non-members can register and pay for a one- or five-year listing. |
