How do I change a director of a federal corporation?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

The shareholders elect or remove the director under the by-laws, and a notice of change of directors is filed with Corporations Canada within 15 days. Keep the resident Canadian director rule in mind: after the change, at least 25% of directors must still be resident Canadians.
