NEW ONLINE BUSINESS PORTAL FOR WESTERN CANADIAN PROVINCES

A new online service simplifies the registration process across provincial lines, making it easier for owners to grow their business. Until now, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba had separate processes and systems for corporations and limited partnerships to complete their extraprovincial business registrations and maintenance filings. On June 27, 2020, the four provinces were the first to implement the online Multijurisdictional Registry Access Service (MRAS), a hub that allows corporate information sharing between the provinces, making extraprovincial registration faster and easier. news.gov.bc.ca/22524
