Articles of Association (AOA) for Canada: what and why
The Articles of Association set out how your company is run: directors' powers, meetings, share transfers and signing authority. Foreign registries and banks read it to understand who can bind the company. The AOA is filed with the Registrar of Companies; the copy legalised is certified as a true copy by a director or company secretary.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Canada usually ask for a legalised Articles of Association (AOA) for company or branch registration, bank account opening or verifying signing authority.
The Articles of Association (AOA) issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Canada accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
Canada has accepted the apostille since January 2024, replacing consular legalisation.
