The Certificate of Organization Form is a fundamental document required when establishing a new corporation in Canada, whether under federal or provincial jurisdiction. This document must be filed with the appropriate government authority (either federal or provincial) and serves as the foundation for the corporation's legal existence. The Certificate of Organization Form includes crucial information such as the corporation's name, registered office address, share structure, initial directors, and any restrictions on business activities. It must comply with the requirements set forth in the relevant legislation, such as the Canada Business Corporations Act for federal incorporations or provincial business corporations acts for provincial incorporations. This document is essential for creating the legal entity and provides important information to stakeholders, government authorities, and the public about the corporation's basic structure and governance.
