Are you doing business in Canada or have plans to expand to Canada? A U.S company carrying on business in Canada is required to register extra provincially in each Canadian province or territory where it intends to do business.
Every extra-provincial corporation must register under the Business Corporations Act within (30) days after it begins to carry on business.
What constitutes carrying on business?
According to the Business Corporations Act, an extra-provincial corporation carries on business if:
its name, or any name under which it carries on business, is listed in a telephone directory for any part of the province where it intends to conduct business
its name, or any name under which it carries on business, appears or is announced in any advertisement in which an address in the province where it intends to conduct business is given for the extra-provincial corporation;
it has a resident agent or representative or a warehouse, office, or place of business in the province where it intends to conduct business
it solicits business in the province where it intends to conduct business
it is licensed or registered or required to be licensed or registered, under any Act of the province where it intends to conduct business
It is in respect of a public vehicle as defined in the Motor Transport Act, the holder of a certificate of registration under the Motor Vehicle Administration Act, unless it neither picks up or nor delivers goods or passengers in Canada;
it is the holder of a certificate issued by the Province Motor Transport Board, unless it neither picks up nor delivers goods or passengers in Canada; or it otherwise carries on business in Canada.
