Every date on the ruler comes from a cited rule, and the Ontario registration adds nothing to it — on purpose. Change a detail of the corporation and the calendar changes with it. Read the rules behind it
The problem
The deadlines sit on three different clocks
A federal corporation answers to Corporations Canada and to the Canada Revenue Agency, and the two do not share a calendar. Standkeep puts them on one.
The anniversary date
The federal annual return is due within 60 days of the date the corporation was incorporated, amalgamated or continued — not its fiscal year end, and it cannot be filed early. The calendar shows both ends of that period, the day it opens and the day it closes. Corporations Canada may dissolve a corporation that stops filing.
The fiscal year end
The T2 return, the balance due, the annual resolutions and the review of the individuals-with-significant-control register all run from the year end, on offsets that are not the same as each other.
Your own reporting periods
A quarterly or monthly GST/HST filer sets its own period ends under the Excise Tax Act. Standkeep asks you what they are and refuses to guess, because a guessed period end is a wrong deadline.
How it works
Three things that are true of every deadline it shows you
It cites its source
Every rule carries a link to the government page or the section of the Act it comes from, and the date that wording came into force. It must also carry the date a person last checked it — or, where a government source is genuinely ambiguous, the open question itself, which Standkeep shows you rather than guessing a date. A rule with neither cannot ship.
Your records stay in Canada
The database, the document vault and the application itself are all in the Canada (Central) region. Where anything does leave the country, the Security page names it rather than glossing over it.
English and French, in full
Not a translated marketing page over an English product. The calendar, the reminder emails, the generated documents and the support desk are all bilingual.
In practice
How it works
Describe the corporation once
Legal name, corporation number, incorporation date, fiscal year end, any extra-provincial registrations, and the CRA program accounts you hold. No credentials, ever — there is no field for them.
Get the calendar
The rules engine derives every obligation for the year ahead, with the date, what to file, which portal it goes to, and what happens if it is missed.
Get warned, more than once
A ladder of reminders by email before each deadline, and a calendar feed you can subscribe to from Outlook, Apple Calendar or Google Calendar.
Keep the evidence
Attach the confirmation to the obligation it proves, and generate the bilingual annual resolutions and register-review record you need to sign.
The hard case
The case generic tools get wrong
A federal corporation registered extra-provincially in Ontario is neither an Ontario corporation nor a licensed foreign one, and does not file an Ontario annual return. Standkeep models “registered in a province” and “incorporated under a province's act” as two different facts and never infers one from the other — so it does not invent a filing you do not owe, and it does not hide one you do.
| What it is | Which act it exists under | Ontario annual return |
|---|---|---|
| An Ontario corporation | Business Corporations Act (Ontario) | Yes |
| A corporation from outside Canada, licensed in Ontario | Extra-Provincial Corporations Act (Ontario) | Yes |
| A federal corporation registered extra-provincially in Ontario | Canada Business Corporations Act | No |
Standkeep tracks this one. It files a federal annual return, and its Ontario registration is a licence to carry on business, not a second corporation.
Boundaries
What Standkeep will not do
These are product boundaries, not features we have not built yet. They are the reason the tool can be trusted with a corporation's calendar.
It does not file anything for you
No robot logs into a government portal on your behalf. Standkeep tells you what is due, what it needs and where it goes; you file it.
It never stores your credentials
No corporation key, no CRA sign-in, no registry password. There is no column in the database that could hold one, and a test fails the build if anybody adds one.
It states deadlines; it does not interpret them
Where a corporation's structure is unusual, Standkeep says so and points you to a lawyer or an accountant rather than guessing on your behalf.
It computes dates, never tax owing
Standkeep will tell you the day your balance is due. It will never tell you what the balance is. The only sum it does on tax is on your own invoices: the rate you chose, times the price you typed.

Price
One price for the organisation, at two sizes
A Standard plan for a corporation's own book and a Practice plan for a firm's clients, each covering every corporation it holds up to its limit. 45 days free, no card. Cancel from the billing portal at any time — your data and your export stay available either way.
iPhone and Android
It goes where you go
The same calendar, the same cited sources, and — if you turn them on — a notice on your lock screen beside the email that is still the reminder. Free on both stores, in English and French, signed in with the account you already have.
Start with the free check
Give it a federal corporation number and it will tell you, from Corporations Canada's own public record, whether the annual return window is open and whether any year has no return on file. No account, no email address.
