What is Company Key?
As of October 19, 2021, Service Ontario issued the notice that every Ontario corporation MUST obtain a company key to access the corporation. This implies, without corporation key, you won't be able to do any change nor any filing on your corporation. Please Click here to Sample

File Initial Return for Your Corporation
Filing Initial Return
- Initial Return Ontime (within 60 days) $99
- Late Initial Return (Exceeds 60 Days) $199
Filing Ontime?
Applicable only for Ontario and Quebec corporations that were registered in last 60 days. If you corporation is older than 60 days, please order for a late initial return.
Filing Late?
Applicable for Ontario & Quebec corporations that were registered before 60 days from now, i.e. corporation's age is more than 60 days and yet initial return was not filed.

Guidelines
why Initial return filing is mandatory?
If you have incorporated in Ontario you are required to file a Form 1, Initial Return, within the first 60 days. Corporations must complete and submit an Initial Return to the Ontario Ministry within 60 days after the date of incorporation. Failure to file Initial Return causes the dismiss of the corporation. In our experience, we have found so many corporation get voided because corporation owners forget to register Initial Return. Therefore, we recommend you to purchase it with the package.
Is it same as Annual Return?
No, Initial Return is different than Annual Return:
Initial Return: Corporations must complete and submit an Initial Return to the Government within 60 days after the date of incorporation. Failure to file Initial Return causes the dismiss of the corporation.
Annual Return: Every Corporation must file a yearly Annual Returns within two months of its anniversary date of incorporation.
Late Initial Return?
If you have forgotten to file your Initial Return and your corporation is older than 60 days, you may still file initial return and save your corporation from being dismissed. As an agency, we can still file it to government.

In this case, you hold 60% and spouse holds 40%. If more than one shareholder and you want to assign in percentage, make total share number as 100.
