Corporate Name GrantingWhen businesses decide to incorporate in Canada, they can incorporate in any province or territory, or with the federal government. Each jurisdiction has its own name granting rules. This training focuses on the federal name granting guidelines used by Corporations Canada. Heightened Name Protection
Introduction to Name GrantingTwo of the statutes administered by Corporations Canada, the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) and the Canada Corporations Act (CCA) which governs federal not-for-profit corporations, have almost identical name regulations describing the types of corporate names that are not permissible. Essentially, the applicant cannot have a name that:
The Director General of Corporations Canada ("Director") has the authority to reject a proposed name that is prohibited by the Act or by the name regulations. It is the applicant, however, that is ultimately responsible for incorporating with a name that does not cause confusion or contravene the Act or regulations in any other way. Purpose of this TrainingThis training has been designed to provide a general understanding of the information and rules taken into consideration by the Director when deciding whether to approve a corporate name. It delivers information through the use of informative modules including brief exercises. Where additional information is necessary, links are provided to the appropriate area of the Corporations Canada website. Table of Contents
