Keeping your Corporation in Good Standing: Changes Regarding Directors

You must notify Corporations Canada or your provincial registries office of any change in the board of directors within 15 days following the change:

when new directors are appointed, or
when individuals cease to be directors.

You must also notify Corporations Canada or your provincial registries office of any change of residential address of a director within 15 days of being informed of the change. Note that directors must notify the corporation of a change in their residential address within 15 days after moving.

The names of a corporation’s directors are public information. You should ensure that Corporations Canada or your provincial registries office has up-to-date information on file so that other directors, shareholders and third parties can send materials to or serve notice on current directors.Although Corporations Canada or provincial registries office does not publish the residential addresses of directors on its website, this information is available by writing to Corporations Canada or your provincial registries office.

If a corporation does not notify Corporations Canada of changes regarding its directors(including a change of residential address), Corporations Canada will consider the corporation to be not in compliance with the CBCA and may impose penalties as allowed by the Act.If the number of directors changes from the number indicated in your corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, you must amend your Articles of Incorporation by filing Articles of Amendment and paying a fees.

You must also file the Changes Regarding Directors form.  Company Formations helps Canada Federal and provincial corporations to file Notice of Change of Director with the Canada Federal corporate registries office. For more information continue here
