Corporations Information Act

Annual Return Changes

As of October 1, 2009, it is no longer be possible to file the Corporations Information Act Annual Return (CIA AR) with the Ministry of Revenue. The CIA AR will be collected by the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of Ontario.

As a result, effective as of midnight September 30, 2009, it is no longer possible to print/view the existing Annual Return and EFF Declaration Form provided by the Ministry of Finance as proof of filing. Should you wish to obtain an official report that reflects the details of your filings, please order a current 'Corporation Profile Report'.

Please note that Ontario business and not-for-profit corporations continue to have the option of filing their standalone Corporations Information Act Annual Return electronically through ESC Corporate Services.

The following Corporation Types can submit AR filings electronically:

A - Ont. Business Corp. (must file within 6 months of Financial Year End ("FYE"))

B - Ont. Non-Share (must file within 60 days of anniversary of incorporation of amalgamation date)

D - Insurer (must file within 60 days of anniversary of incorporation or amalgamation date)

F - Social Club with Share (must file within 6 months of FYE)

G - Social Club with Non-Share (must file within 60 days of anniversary or incorporation or amalgamation date)
