After you incorporate in Ontario, you have 60 days to file your Initial Notice. This filing confirms your corporation’s key details, including:

​

• Your directors’ names and addresses

• Your officers and their titles

• Your registered or head office address

It’s the quick follow-up step that makes your new Ontario corporation fully official and compliant.

When a Federal or out-of-province corporation starts operating in Ontario, you need to file for Extra-Provincial Registration. As part of this process, your corporation is assigned an Ontario Corporation Number (OCN), which confirms your corporation’s official identity in Ontario.

​

To complete the registration, you’ll need to provide:

​​

• The exact corporate name as it appears in your home jurisdiction

• A copy of the certificate page from your Articles of Incorporation

• A copy of any Articles of Amendment if your corporation has changed its name

• Optionally, you can add a chief officer or manager in Ontario, or list a staff member who will act as your corporation’s local representative

These documents make the registration smooth and keep your Ontario records accurate and official.

If your corporation was incorporated outside Canada and you want to operate in Ontario, here’s what you need to get started:

​

• Exact corporate name from your home jurisdiction

• Certificate or certificate page from your foreign Articles of Incorporation

• Certificate of Status (or good standing/compliance certificate) from your home jurisdiction

• Head office address in your home jurisdiction

• Ontario address for your branch or office 

• Agent for Service in Ontario — someone 18+ who lives in Ontario and can receive formal correspondence on behalf of your corporation

Filing these gets your Extra-Provincial Licence, officially letting your foreign corporation do business in Ontario. It’s the essential step to make your operations legal, recognized, and fully compliant.

To register your foreign LLC in Ontario, you’ll need to provide:

​​

• The exact legal name of your LLC as registered in its home jurisdiction

• A certificate or equivalent document from your home jurisdiction showing your LLC is active and in good standing

• Your LLC’s home office address

• An Ontario address for your branch or office 

• An Agent for Service in Ontario — someone 18+ residing in Ontario who can receive legal documents on behalf of your LLC

Submitting these documents gets your Extra-Provincial Licence, officially allowing your LLC to operate in Ontario and keeping your provincial records accurate and compliant.

Use this filing whenever your registered foreign or domestic corporation in Ontario needs to update official details.

You can file Form 2 to change:

​

• Corporate name (if first changed in your home jurisdiction)

• Registered or head office address in Ontario

• Agent for Service in Ontario

• Business activity or industry code (NAICS)

Submitting Form 2 keeps your Ontario records up to date, ensures legal compliance, and avoids potential issues with government filings or official correspondence.

Think of it as your corporation's quick yearly check-in with the Ontario government - simple, required, and essential to keeping your business compliant.
