RECO / TRESA · Eligibility
Corporate name does not carry the controlling shareholder's name
What the rule requires
Nothing requires it, but a name carrying the registrant's own name is how the corporation is matched to the registrant on the RECO register.
Authority: Drafting practice (identification)
What goes wrong
The corporate name does not appear to contain the first director's surname as filed. Nothing requires it. This is convention, and it is how the corporation is matched to the registrant on RECO's register.
What good looks like
The corporate name appears to carry the first director's surname. Confirm it matches the name on the RECO register exactly. We can only compare against this document.
