Late fees

A late fee applies if the firm does not pay its other fees to the OSC on time or does not submit documents on time.

For example, we may charge a late fee if a firm submits a notice of change to registration information after the timeline listed in Appendix A Summary of Notice Requirements in National Instrument 33-109 Registration Information to Companion Policy 33-109CP Registration Information. The fee is $100 for each business day the notice is late, up to $5,000 for all late notices in a financial year.

If a firm has not submitted documents on time, the late fee must be paid at the same time the late documents are submitted to the OSC.
