  1. Cancelling registration for an extra-territorial corporation

    The registrar may cancel the registration of an extra-territorial corporation. You can find more details under section 283 of the Business Corporations Act. Extra-territorial corporations are responsible for reviewing the Act and sections that apply. They must follow the proper procedure for cancellation.


  2. How to prepare your documents

    There is no prescribed form for this filing. The extra-territorial corporation has to submit a notice.

    Prepare a notice for submission containing all the following required information. Also make sure the information you provide is legible.

    What to include in your submission

    • The corporation’s full legal name. The name must match the name on file. If the corporation has a French name, include it.
    • The corporation’s intention to withdraw its registration.
    • A signature from an officer, director or authorized agent.
    • The date the submission was signed. The date must be before we receive the document.
