Company Unsubscription

What are the requirements for requesting deregistration from the CFIA?

1. Company Deregistration Request Form

  • The information must be complete, with no cross-outs or alterations.
  • The form is available in an editable PDF format. Once completed, you must print it, sign it, and submit it along with the required documents.
  • The signatures on the form must be original and must be submitted duly authenticated by a notary public with the notary’s signature, seal, notarial security paper, and corresponding stamps, if the legal representative(s) do not present a valid and intact identity card to the CFIA to complete the procedure and verify their signatures.
  • You can complete the process using a national digital signature that has been properly certified by the relevant institution; the digital certificate allows its owner to authenticate themselves and sign electronically. It is not a scanned signature.

2. A certificate issued by the National Registry or a notary public confirming the entity’s legal status and legal identification number, which must have been issued within the last 15 calendar days.

Please note that:

  • All required information and documentation must be submitted in full. If any of the specified requirements are not met correctly or do not comply with CFIA regulations, the application will not be processed and will have no legal effect.
  • The application is not valid if the company is under investigation for violations of the CFIA Code of Ethics.
  • The application will not become effective until it is approved by the General Board of Directors, which will notify you of the corresponding decision.
  • If the application is approved, you will not be able to carry out any procedures, nor will you be able to apply for the renewal of the company's rights in the future, as you will lose your seniority record registered with the CFIA.

Submission of Documents with Physical Signatures

Applications requiring a physical signature must be submitted to the Service Platform or Regional Office.

Submission of Documents with a Digital Signature

Form for Submitting Documents with a Digital Signature

  • The application may be submitted electronically provided that the legal representative(s) and responsible professionals have a national digital signature duly certified by the relevant institution; the digital certificate allows its holder to authenticate themselves and sign electronically. It is not a scanned signature.
  • You can attach up to 5 files per submission, each with a maximum size of 50 MB. If you need to send more than 5 files, you must create a ZIP file that does not contain any subfolders.
  • Do not change the preselection that indicates: Company deregistration for correct traceability of documentation.
