What Is Form 1?
Form 1, Initial Return/Notice of Change , is a formal document filled out by all Ontario-based businesses and not-for-profit corporations to inform the authorities about the main details that identify their organization and about all the modifications in their corporate information considered public.

Then, if you have moved and changed your registered address, decided to receive mail at a different address, or appointed a new official that represents your company, you need to notify the Companies and Personal Property Security Branch about the change within fifteen days. If you fail to submit the required information, your corporation may be dismissed.
