HERE IS ALTERNATIVE for the unknown status by marcus:
From Marcus:
I, and Access Copyright, would definitely prefer to err on the side
of caution with the conservative approach. Under Canadian law, these
("orphan") works must be treated as copyright protected. To obtain
permission to make use beyond that allowed under the Copyright Act
and fair dealing exceptions, the proposed user would apply for a
licence from the Copyright Board of Canada (this process is
administered by Access Copyright).
Copyright Unknown:
