Certificate of Status

Do you need to verify the Active/Inactive status of an Ontario corporation? Does your professional association require you to obtain a Certificate of Status?

The Certificate of Status provides the current status of the corporation (active, dissolved or in default). It is available only for Ontario corporations or for Extra-Provincial foreign corporations*.

*Certificates of Status for an extra-provincial foreign corporation will only indicate its status for Ontario, not for its home jurisdiction.
