Do I need an Extra Provincial License?

You are required to obtain Extra Provincial Licence (EPL) when a physical address is/has been established by a foreign corporation within the Ontario Jurisdiction. Once the filing is completed, you may operate the Ontario corporation, open a bank account, obtain cheques, apply for HST, register trade names etc.

What if I don’t have a Chief Officer/Manager in Ontario?

You are not required to have a chief officer/manager in Ontario, however you do need an Agent For Service. This individual is required to reside in Ontario and be 18 years or older or have a separate Ontario corporation.

What if I’m not a citizen/permanent resident?

The filing does not require the directors of the foreign corporation to be Canadian citizens or permanent residents. An individual is required to be an 'Agent For Service'. This is someone who is 18+, lives in Ontario and can receive correspondence on behalf of the corporation. This Agent For Service does not have to be a Canadian citizen but absolutely must reside in Ontario.

Does the Extra Provincial Licence registration need to be renewed?

An Extra-Provincial licence for a corporation has no expiry date, therefore, it is continual and does not require renewal.
