My filing was rejected: reasons and fixes
Updated [date] · 3 min
A rejection isn’t a failure: the registry gives a reason, we fix it with you and refile.
Common reasons
- Name too close to an existing one (Nuans reportNuans reportCanada-wide name and trademark search required to reserve a distinctive name federally and in several provinces.See definition →).
- Name not compliant with the Charter of the French Language (Quebec).
- Fewer than 25% resident Canadian directors (federal).
What happens next
We refile at no extra fee. Some registries charge for a new filing; we tell you first.
