What is an extra-provincial corporation?
An extra provincial corporation is a body corporate that has been incorporated, amalgamated, or continued outside the jurisdiction of British Columbia.
Which extra-provincial corporations must register?
Every extra-provincial corporation must register under Part 21 of the Business Corporations Act within (30) days after it begins to carry on business in British Columbia. As a result of amendments to the Business Corporations Act in 1987, Canadian Corporations are now required to register as extra-provincial corporations if they are carrying on business in British Columbia.
What constitutes carrying on business in British Columbia?
According to Section 264 of the Business Corporations Act, an extra-provincial corporation carries on business in British Columbia if:
its name, or any name under which it carries on business, is listed in a telephone directory for any part of British Columbia;
its name, or any name under which it carries on business, appears or is announced in any advertisement in which an address in British Columbia is given for the extra-provincial corporation;
it has a resident agent or representative or a warehouse, office, or place of business in British Columbia;
it solicits business in British Columbia;
it is licensed or registered or required to be licensed or registered, under any Act of British Columbia entitling it to do 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 British Columbia;
it is the holder of a certificate issued by the British Columbia Motor Transport Board, unless it neither picks up nor delivers goods or passengers in British Columbia; or it otherwise carries on business in British Columbia.
The process of British Columbia Extra-Provincial Registration has three main elements:
First is the Name Search and approval.
This search is used to confirm that no one else has a business or registered trademark with a name as, or similar to, the one you have chosen. The name of an incorporated company must end with one of the following designations:
* Limited or Limitee;
* Incorporated or Incorporee or
* Corporation
The following abbreviations of the above are also acceptable:
* Ltd. Or Ltee.
* Inc.
* Corp.
If the name of the company is to be its incorporation number, for example 123456 A.B. Ltd; a name approval is not required and the number will be assigned at the time of incorporation.
Note: Canada corporations (federally incorporations) are exempt from this requirement.
Second. Application of registration completed.
Application of registration must be filed with the following forms:
a statement of Registration
Notice of Attorney
an original British Columbia Search Report, (also known as a NUANs report) , less than 90 days old, relating to the name appearing on the Statement of Registration;
a copy of the corporation’s charter, including all amendments, certified to be true copies by a company official, having custody of the original documents.
