What is an Extra-Provincial Corporation?
When an existing federal or provincial corporation wishes to expand and conduct business in other provinces, an extra-provincial corporate registration is required.
The same applies to corporations outside Canada who wish to conduct business in 1 or more Canadian provinces.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
NUANS
Most likely, you will need a NUANS report for each Province you wish to register your corporation within. This ensures that your corporations name can be used in each province without conflicting with other business names or trademarks. We will identify the need for a NUANS based on the information you submit and if there is a need, DSS will help you obtain the NUANS report required.
Agent of Service
If you will not have a physical office located in the province(s) you are going to conduct business in, you will need an Agent of Service to act as your registered office. This is a service that the experienced staff at DSS offer and we would be happy to work with you to provide this service. If you would like to learn more click here now.
Different Provinces
This type of registration gives your corporation an official presence in different provinces and adds credibility to the business and security for your corporation name / trademark in each province. This promotes the idea that your business is a serious player and can make it more attractive to conduct business with.
