Tips for Efficient Filing Management During Busy Season
- POST-DATE your Ontario Articles (up to 30 days in advance)
- Use CURRENT DATE for Adoption/Approval date on Articles of Amalgamation to avoid extended delays caused by required manual filing intervention with the Registry.
- CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE EFFECTIVE DATE on the Articles and in any instructions.
- SAME-DAY FILING DATE: Please submit your Articles requiring a same-day filing date during our regular business hours on Registry Complete or to [email protected] before 2:00 pm. Same-day filings cannot be requested on weekends and holidays.
