Corporations Canada has amended the Policy on reviving a business corporation and updated the instructions for the revival form to reflect and clarify new procedures.
The policy now includes the following:
- A cover letter with supporting documentation must be submitted with Form 15 – Articles of Revival (for the revival of a dissolved corporation). Required supporting documentation varies according to the applicant and the reason for revival.
- The filing fee must be paid with the application and is non-refundable if the application is rejected or withdrawn by the applicant.
Reminder
The Articles of Revival can be signed only by an interested applicant who has a direct relationship with the dissolved corporation. The articles cannot be signed by a representative of the dissolved corporation, such as a lawyer or accountant, or a representative of a shareholder, director, officer, etc.
