RECO / TRESA · Eligibility
Corporate name does not carry the controlling shareholder's name
What the check looks for
Nothing requires it. A name carrying the registrant's own name simply makes the link between the corporation and the registrant obvious.
Authority: Drafting practice (identification)
This is drafting practice, recommended rather than required by O. Reg. 536/20.
What goes wrong
The corporate name does not appear to contain the first director's surname as filed. Nothing requires it; this is convention only.
