File your corporation annual return without re-entering director details

An Ontario corporation annual return asks for the same director names and addresses each year. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in hivi so each annual filing starts mostly filled.

Official form and source

Start from the official Ontario Business Registry and always use the current version — requirements and deadlines can change:

• Service page: Ontario Business Registry — ontario.ca

What this return is about

Ontario corporations must file an annual return under the Corporations Information Act to confirm the corporation's registered information — including directors, officers, and the registered office address.

Before you start: what to gather

• The corporation's name and Ontario Corporation Number.
• Registered office address.
• Each director's and officer's name and address.

Confirm the current filing deadline and any applicable fees on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store director details once. Save each director's name and address in hivi.
2. Autofill director fields each year. Use the hivi Chrome extension on the Ontario Business Registry portal, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
3. Confirm corporate details — Ontario Corporation Number and registered office.
4. Submit the return through the Ontario Business Registry.

Why do it in hivi

Director names and addresses repeat identically year over year on annual returns. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with no third-party AI — each year's filing starts mostly filled.
