EXTRA-PROVINCIAL REGISTRATIONS
If a Canadian subsidiary has been incorporated under the laws of a particular Canadian province or territory, the subsidiary will need to register in each additional Canadian jurisdiction where business will be carried on. If a subsidiary is a Canadian federal corporation, the subsidiary will need to register in each Canadian jurisdiction where business will be conducted. Canadian partnerships have similar filing requirements.
Any foreign entity carrying on business in Canada will similarly need to register in each Canadian jurisdiction where business is conducted.
OTHER REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Depending on the type of business that is being conducted, additional registrations/ licences may be required, such as tax registrations (GST/HST or employer tax ID numbers, as examples), operating licences (including municipal licences/permits), and workers’ compensation accounts.
Things To Do
- Identify and make all extra-provincial filings and file annual returns.
- Prepare and maintain financial records and minute books.
- Research industry specific requirements as certain industries (including food and drug, telecom, travel and transportation, health, banking and securities and franchise systems) impose additional restrictions, filings and/or licensing and permitting requirements on businesses operating in that industry.
- Review municipal laws in Canadian cities where business will be conducted to ensure compliance with local licensing and permitting requirements.
