Ontario corporations are required to file an Initial Return under the Corporations Information Act
within 60 days of incorporation, amalgamation, or continuation to maintain compliance with the filing
requirements.
It is a mandatory filling that lists the details of a corporation including names, addresses, and
appointment dates of directors and officers, as well as the corporation's registered office address and
business activity.
Failure to file the Initial Return may result in the corporation being non-compliant under the Ontario
Corporations Information Act. This can lead to fines, penalties, and other compliance issues.
In certain circumstances, a corporation that is in default and has unpaid fines or penalties may also be
restricted from maintaining legal proceedings in Ontario courts without court permission.
File your Ontario Initial Return today and avoid compliance issues, penalties, and unnecessary
complications with your corporation’s records!
