A director must be:at least 18 years old;
of sound mind (i.e. not a person a court has determined to be of unsound mind);
an individual (a corporation cannot be a director); and
not in bankrupt status.
Ordinarily, at least 25 percent of the directors of a corporation must be resident Canadians. However, if a corporation has fewer than four directors, then at least one of them must be a resident Canadian. In addition, corporations operating in sectors subject to ownership restrictions (such as airlines and telecommunications) or corporations in certain cultural sectors (such as book retailing, video or film distribution) must have a majority of resident Canadian directors.
Directors may hold shares of a corporation where they are directors. However, the directors of a corporation are not required to hold shares in the corporation unless the Articles of Incorporation make this a requirement for the directors.
Canada Corporate Minute Books. In order to keep your corporation in good standing with your provincial business corporation act, It is essential to keep a history of all important decisions that are made in the company and to demonstrate that the company is acting as a corporation. For example, if you want to sell your company in the future, the buyer’s lawyer will normally ask to see a copy of the minute book. Also, if there is a dispute about a company matter, the minutes can act as an official record of events.
