# Look up people by name and city on Canada411

Canada411 residential listings for one surname in one city, returned with the phone number and address of every match. The example searches Tremblay in Montreal, three pages deep.

**Run it:** [Look up people by name and city on Canada411 on Apify](https://apify.com/fayoussef/canada411-ca/examples/lookup-people-by-name-canada411?fpr=youssef&fp_sid=abe_ex_lookup-people-by-name-canada411)  
**Actor:** [Canada411.ca Business Contact Scraper](https://automationbyexperts.com/apify/canada411-ca)  
**Pricing:** $0.005 per result

## What this task is for

Skip tracers, genealogists and recruiters use this instead of paying per lookup on a people-search site, because the same public directory is behind both. The surname and the city are the only two inputs, and max_pages controls how far down the result list a run goes.

Only what Canada411 publishes comes back. Unlisted numbers stay unlisted, and nothing here reaches a private record, so treat a miss as a number that was never listed rather than a failed run.

## The input this task runs with

```json
{
  "what": "Tremblay",
  "where": "Montreal, QC",
  "max_pages": 3
}
```

## What every run returns

- `Business / person name`
- `Phone number`
- `Full address`
- `City & province`
- `Postal code`
- `Business category`
- `Listing URL`

## How to run it

1. Open the task on Apify. New accounts get $5 of free credit.
2. Check the pre-filled input above and change anything you need.
3. Click Run. Pagination, proxies and anti-bot handling are automatic.
4. Export CSV, JSON or Excel, or save it as your own task and schedule it.
