Federal corporation forms and instructions
Due to a high volume of requests, applications are taking longer than usual to process. File online for the quickest service.
On January 15, 2020, Corporations Canada adopted a digital-first approach to forms for business and not-for-profit corporations. This means that PDF forms for most online services are no longer available for download. They are now available on request.
