Are Any Other Filings Required to Have the Corporation Active Again?

Annual Returns/Special Notices

If a corporation was dissolved by the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery, any Annual Returns that were not filed will have to be submitted along with our fees and the government fees. When you submit your Articles of Revival, we will be able to ascertain what additional filings and payments may be required. The Annual Return filings began in Ontario in 2021 after a new system called the Ontario Business Registry was launched by the province. Each year, every Ontario corporation is required to file an Annual Return, whether or not any changes to the corporate information occurred.
