sorry Artemis Eleutheria : the limited partnership Act states that I may have a representative in Ontario IF my partnership is registered in someother place. PROOF for registering in some other placed is not asked in Form 3. The other requirement in limited partnership act, is that the registry of limited partners should be in Ontario. In practical terms what I am asking is: how does the agent formulates my registration, is he my︀ legal representative in ontario and so No 8 is filled in Form 3 or am︁ I supposed to have my place of business in ontario, in the agent's adress and︂ keep the registry of limited partners there BUT i do NOT have a legal representative︃ , so in case the registrar summons for the registry of limited partners (NEVER 😛 ) I am supposed to present this document myself ? I know this is hay in︄ a stack but I am trying to understand my complete legal obligations in ontario and︅ how in practical terms the registration is proceeded....
If you want to go there you might as well save you some trouble by turning over the paperwork filing to anyone you can find by searching for "Ontario Company Registration" on google ... you should find several options ... or you can look go directly to Limited Partnership | Centro Legal Works Inc.
It will set you back a few hundred $ only, mainly govt fees.
You do however need an address in Ontario first.

No need to be sorry ... you wrote your further questions as I wrote my additional input.
Indeed you do not need to set up the partnership in Ontario, but I am uncertain what you hope to achieve by registering an extraprovincial partnership in Ontario. (And curious as to where the original setup is, as well as what purpose it serves)

That would depend on what you and your agent agree on.
If you decide to give your agent a POA he should be provided with a completed form 4 found here

Yes, you must have an Ontario address, not sure that you need to keep the registry of partners there if you are extraprovincial

In practical terms ... spend the extra $100 to have it filed on your behalf by someone that knows what they are doing.

Thank you for all the trouble Artemis Eleutheria and for︌ your eye opening initial post on this subject. yes ofcourse i will use an agent,︍ i' m just trying to gather as much info I can , so to know︎ exactly what to ask from the agent for my paticular case and to safekeep me️ from any formation mistakes . There are a lot of offers for canadian company incorporation on the net but very few for LP formation. One is for 2000$ US and in return you get the registration paper of the LP and some beautiful papers from their office printer. The other is from some Russian site for 4000$ same mechandise probably they are an agent of the first agent ! No word about authentication of documents (apostille), no word about certificate of good standing or what ever similar exists there for an LP, no word about bank account. I don't know if Mr Administrator considers this︀ as advertisment, but do you have anybody to recommend or pin point me to some︁ link of somebody that can professionally register this in canada and provide some after service?︂ Again thank you and everybody else very much !
If you require some level of confidentiality I would use a lawyer (lawyer-client privilege is the only remaining vestiges of confidentiality existing vs the State and it will eventually fall ... just as Swiss Bank Secrecy did).
If not, go with any company registrar you find attractive via google ... I would avoid the "offshore providers" unless you feel like paying an extra $1000 for nothing.

no I just need the usual confidentiality on a need to know basis. As I wrote ,strangely , there are not so many offers for LP formation don t know why, I will︀ try to write to everybody that seems serious and have an offer...
Look for local company formation agents, no need for the offshore providers. I did mention one further up that could do it for you at minimum cost.
yes by coincidense or because it looks the more adequate solution on the net, that s the only firm I noticed out of the sharks and garbage. I m writing them an email right now don t know if they can help me with adress requirement though, as they just seem to register only legal entities.. we ll see....
OK there is mail forwarding service for 10 CAD/month and virtual office mail forwarding for 30 CAD/month. The only difference in the virtual office I will have the word "suite" to indicate my mailbox and on the mail forwarding service the word "unit" For both I cannot figure how to fulfill the registry keeping obligation though ...
Artemis Eleutheria you r my educator on this subject...So pls what is the canadian equivalent for the Ontario LP for the "certificate of Good Standing" and the "Articles of Association" do I have articles of association, r they getting notarized by some goverment agency? I reckon im bank these r the first documents they r going to ask me...
Given that what you are setting up is a partnership it will often be designated "partnership agreement", this could be anything from a one-pager to several hundred pages of legalese drawn up by lawyers. You can call it Memorandum and Articles of Association on the title page if you want to do so ... no harm will come from that. Search the net for samples of Ontario LP and roll your own would be my recommendation maybe have it reviewed by a lawyer if you feel unsure. Really no one size fits all on this one ... but don't sweat it too much either as︀ the Partnership acts covers a lot. Note though that your partnership agreement is not subordinate︁ to the partnership act ... anything you specify in the partnership agreement that contradicts the︂ act will trump the act.
Your registration agent will not do this for you, unless︃ you go to one of the offshore guys that will just give you a boilerplate︄ agreement.
You should not need any certificate of good standing for a freshly formed LP/LLP︅ ... but on the banking side you basically have to give them whatever they ask︆ for, so first figure out what they want to see.

Thank you 4 your time. I am trying to foresee what documents are going︈ to be needed 4 a bank account or for signing a contract at a notary's.︉ Yes partnership agreement is called i've also found today on the internet and to my︊ understanding for an Ontario LP this is not registered with any public service, so what︋ official is going to put the nice stamps and signatures and apostille that banks love︌ to see? also for certificate of Good standing I read the "Partership Act" there is︍ no need because Ontario LP is valid for 5 years but how to explain this︎ to the employee at the bank...Don t know ofcourse, maybe all this garbage is all️ european stuff and is not asked on the other side on the pond, my experience in banking in north america is an absolutt 0. about the LP's adress on the "Partnerships Act" it states that the registrar must give a written notice for the registry of partners to appear before him, so virtual office or even mail drop will do. Again thank you very much for the enlightment, may the Godess give us her blessings !
You do not NEED to register a partnership, you do not even need to write a partnership agreement for a partnership to be established. You CAN however register the partnership ... in order to get those pieces of paper that the banks love to see.
Note however there is no way you will be getting a fiscal residency certificate for DTAs from Canada︀ if no partner is a Canadian resident.
Canadian banking will be difficult to achieve, but not entirely︆ impossible. Maybe try Canadian banks in the US (if you are willing to go US),︇ or Bermuda or any of the banks that are mentioned on this forum.
You need to have︌ an address where some may receive papers on your behalf ... ie a physical location.︍
