An annual return is a mandatory filing that every corporation must submit to Corporations Canada (or its provincial registry) each year. It confirms your corporation's basic information — directors, registered office, and share structure — is up to date. It is NOT the same as a corporate tax return.

Federal corporations must file their annual return within 60 days of their anniversary date (the date of incorporation). Provincial deadlines vary. We'll confirm your specific deadline when you submit your application.

If you miss your annual return deadline, Corporations Canada may send a notice of intent to dissolve your corporation. If you continue to miss filings, your corporation can be dissolved. Late filings also incur additional government fees. We can help you file late returns and get your corporation back in good standing.

Yes. We file annual returns for federal corporations with Corporations Canada and for provincial corporations with their respective provincial registries. Select your jurisdiction when completing the application form.

We typically file your annual return the same business day you submit your application. You'll receive a confirmation email with your filed documents within 24 hours.
