Cancellation of articles of incorporation

Any corporation may request the cancellation of its articles of incorporation, except its articles of constitution, and the cancellation of the attendant certificate when an application for articles of constitution has been filed inadvertently.

To determine the fees that apply to an application for cancellation of articles of incorporation, please consult the fee schedule.

Important

If an application for cancellation of articles of incorporation risks infringing the shareholders rights, it must be authorized by special resolution of the shareholders or by a court.

The enterprise registrar will file in the enterprise register the application and the certificate of cancellation along with the documents appended to them. A copy of the certificate of cancellation will be sent to the corporation or its representative. The articles of incorporation and the attendant certificate will be cancelled after the enterprise registrar has issued the certificate of cancellation. The cancelled articles of incorporation and the attendant certificate will be deemed to never have existed.
