TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

The following are the terms and conditions for the electronic filing of Articles of Incorporation under the Ontario Business Corporations Act (OBCA) with the Ministry of Government Services.

The NUANS report must be kept in electronic or paper format at the corporation's registered office address.

 

2)All first directors named in the articles must sign a consent in the prescribed form. The original consent must be kept at the corporation's registered office address.

 

3)A Corporation acquiring a name identical to that of another corporation must indicate that due diligence has been exercised in verifying that the Corporation meets the requirements of Subsection 6(1) of Regulation 62 made under the OBCA.

The applicant must complete the electronic version of this legal opinion provided by one of the Service Providers under contract with the Ministry.

 

4)The date of the Certificate of Incorporation will be the date the articles are updated to the ONBIS electronic public record database. Articles submitted electronically outside MGS, ONBIS access hours, will receive an endorsement date effective the next business day when the system resumes operation, if the submitted Articles of Incorporation meet all requirements for electronic incorporation. Articles of Incorporation submitted during system difficulties will receive an endorsement date effective the date the articles are updated to the ONBIS system.

 

5)The electronic Articles of Incorporation must be in the format approved by the Ministry and submitted through one of the Service Providers under contract with the Ministry.

 

6)Upon receipt of the Certificate of Incorporation issued by the ONBIS system, a duplicate copy of the Articles of Incorporation with the Ontario Corporation Number and the Certificate of Incorporation must be kept in paper or electronic format. The Ministry will print and microfilm copies of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Articles of Incorporation and any other documentation submitted electronically.
