(1) Represents 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued as compensation for services rendered. (2) Estimated solely for the purpose of determining the amount of registration fee and pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933. PART I INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS Item 1 The document(s) containing the information specified in Part I of Form S-8 will be sent or given to participating parties in accordance with Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Such document(s) are not being filed with the Commission pursuant to the introductory Note to Part 1 of Form S-8, but constitute (along with the documents incorporated by reference to the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II hereof) a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Act. Purposes: The Common Stock will be issued by the Company pursuant to an agreement entered into by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"). The agreement is intended to provide a method whereby the Company may be stimulated by the personal involvement of the Consultant in the Company's business thereby advancing the interests of the Company, and all of its shareholders. Common Stock: The Board has authorized the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of the Common Stock to the Consultant upon effectiveness of the registration statement. Consultants: The Consultant has agreed to provide its expertise and advice to the Company on a non-exclusive basis for the purpose of generally representing the Company with respect to certain matters as described in the Consultant's engagement agreement. No Restrictions on Transfer Upon the shares becoming "Earned" pursuant to the terms of Consultant's engagement agreement, the Consultant will become the record and beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock upon issuance and delivery and is entitled to all of the rights of ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive ordinary cash dividends on the Common Stock. Tax Treatment to the Consultant The Common Stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Consultant, therefore, will be deemed for federal income tax purposes to recognize ordinary income during the taxable year in which the first of the following events occurs: (a) the shares become freely transferable, or (b) the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, the Consultant will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. If, however, the Consultant receives shares of common stock pursuant to the exercises of an option or options at an exercise price below the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise will be deemed ordinary income for federal tax purposes. The Consultant is urged to consult his tax advisor on this matter. Further, if any recipient is an "affiliate", Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is applicable and will affect the issue of taxation. Tax Treatment to the Company The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be an expense deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of the Company during which the recipient recognizes income. Restrictions of Resales In the event that an affiliate of the Company acquires shares of Common Stock hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has sold or sells any shares of Common Stock in the six months preceding or following the receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit", as computed under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from the recipient to the Company. Services rendered have been recognized as valid consideration for the "purchase" of shares in connection with the "profit" computation under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company has agreed that for the purpose of any "profit" computation under 16(b) the price paid for the Common Stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services rendered. Shares of Common Stock acquired hereunder by persons other than affiliates are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Item 2. Registrant Information A copy of any document or part hereof incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement but not delivered with this Prospectus or any document required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 428(b) under the Securities Act will be furnished without charge upon written or oral request. Requests should be addressed to: 201 Westcreek Boulevard, Brampton, Ontario, Canada L6T 5S6. Legal Opinions and Experts Michael L.

Item 4. Description of Securities. Not applicable. Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel. Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers. The pertinent section of Canadian law is set forth below in full. In addition, we currently have officers' and directors' liability insurance. Section 136 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) provides as follows: (1) INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. A corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the corporation is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of such corporation or body corporate, if; (a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. (2) IDEM. A corporation may, with the approval of the court, indemnify a person referred to in subsection (1) in respect of an action by or behalf of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action if he or she fulfils the conditions set out in clauses (1)(a) and (b). (3) IDEM. Despite anything in this section, a person referred to in subsection (1) is entitled to indemnity from the corporation in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or body corporate, if the person seeking indemnity; (a) was substantially successful on the merits in his or her defense of the action or proceeding; and (b) fulfills the conditions set out in clauses (1)(a) and (b). (4) LIABILITY INSURANCE. A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in subsection (1) against any liability incurred by the person, (a) in his or her capacity as a director of the corporation, except where the liability relates to the person's failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation; or (b) in his or her capacity as a director or officer of another body corporate where the person acts or acted in that capacity at the corporation's request, except where the liability relates to the person's failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the body corporate. (5) APPLICATION TO COURT. A corporation or a person referred to in subsection (1) may apply to the court for an order approving an indemnity under this section and the court may so order and make any further order it thinks fit. (6) IDEM. Upon application under subsection (5), the court may order notice to be given to any interested person and such person is entitled to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Thinkpath under Ontario law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by Thinkpath for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Thinkpath in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Thinkpath will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in said Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. The Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the index to Exhibits. Item 9. Undertakings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 1. To file, during the period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof), which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement., and, (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (1) (i) and (a) (1) (ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 4. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. 5. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee pursuant to the plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) for the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 6. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, whereunto duly authorized, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on June 1, 2004.
