Maintain a Business Corporation

Maintenance

Business information must be maintained via an annual return. If changes are made to a corporation, they must be filed with the Corporate Registry within 15 days.

Annual Return

Each year, every business corporation must complete an annual return with the Corporate Registry.

Annual returns are due one month after the anniversary of the date of incorporation. For example, if your incorporation date is July 15, 2022, your first annual return would be due on August 31, 2024, and every August 31 after that, as long as the corporation continues to exist. It is recommended that you file your annual return online.

Late annual returns will be subject to a late fee. Please see the fee schedule for more information.

The Corporate Registry will send the annual return notice to the corporation at the email address associated with the entity or the mailing address of its registered office at least one month before the due date.
    • The Corporate Registry will not send an advance notice or final notice if the corporation has already submitted their annual return.  
    • Annual returns that are returned for corrections must be resubmitted within 30 days from the date on the returned submission correspondence. If the annual return is not resubmitted within this timeframe, the annual return submission will expire.  
    • Strike off from the registry will occur 30 days from the date of the final notice or 60 days from the annual return due date, depending on the status of returned submissions.
    • All entities will receive a final notice prior to becoming eligible for strike off. The final notice is sent either two weeks after the entity’s annual return due date or immediately after the expiration of an annual return that was not resubmitted within 30 days of having been returned. 
    • If an annual return is not received within 30 days from the final notice, the entity will be struck from the registry.

Filing your Annual Return:

  • Login to the Corporate Registry application.
    • Select ‘file’.
  • Enter your entity number or name in the ‘file annual return or renewal’ field.

Change your Business Information

You must also notify the Corporate Registry within 15 days of any change to:
