What is an annual return for a federal corporation in Canada?
An annual return is a mandatory yearly filing with Corporations Canada that updates your corporation’s basic information, like directors and registered office address. It’s required for all active corporations to confirm good standing and avoid dissolution risks.
When is the deadline for filing a federal corporation annual return?
You must file within 60 days of your corporation’s anniversary date (the date it was incorporated or continued federally). Late filings can lead to penalties or automatic dissolution by Corporations Canada.
What happens if I don't file my federal corporation annual return?
Corporations Canada may dissolve your corporation, meaning it loses legal status to operate, conduct business, or hold assets. Revival is possible but involves extra costs and paperwork.
What is ISC filing for federal corporations in Canada?
ISC stands for Individuals with Significant Control—people who own or control 25% or more of shares or voting rights. Since 2024, you must file ISC details annually with your return to promote transparency and comply with CBCA amendments.
Who qualifies as an Individual with Significant Control (ISC)?
Anyone with 25% or more ownership, voting rights, or influence over the corporation (e.g., through agreements). Even if no one qualifies, you must confirm this in your filing to avoid fines up to $5,000 or dissolution.
How do I change my federal corporation's name in Canada?
File Articles of Amendment with Corporations Canada, including a NUANS name search report (valid within 90 days) to ensure availability. Approval typically takes 1-2 business days if everything is in order.
What is a notice of change for a federal corporation?
It’s a filing to update key details like directors, officers, or registered office address. You must submit it within 15 days of any change to keep public records accurate and maintain compliance.
How can I dissolve my federal corporation in Canada?
If your corporation is active and debt-free, file Articles of Dissolution after a shareholder resolution. This legally ends operations—ensure all assets are distributed and taxes cleared first to avoid liabilities.
What is jurisdiction change or continuance for a federal corporation?
Continuance lets you move your corporation from federal to provincial jurisdiction (or vice versa) without dissolving. File a continuance application to preserve history, but check target jurisdiction rules for compatibility.
How do I revive a dissolved federal corporation in Canada?
File Articles of Revival with Corporations Canada, including supporting documents like missed annual returns and a NUANS search if the name changed. It’s possible within 20 years of dissolution, but act quickly to restore active status.
