Keeping the employer’s file up to date

Keeping the employer’s file up to date

Employers and independent contractors must notify the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ) of all changes concerning the registration of their company within 30 days following those changes.

Modifications to the company’s contact information – that is, the addresses of its head office, principle place of business, all of its places of business in Québec, and the location where the register may be consulted: for all contact information, the modification must be made before the change comes into effect. 

Use the form Modifier les informations d’une organisation, accessible directly in the Catalogue de services in the online services.

Changes to the list of company officers: addition or withdrawal of an officer, changes in contact information or function. 

Use one of our forms accessible directly in the Catalogue de services in the online services: 

  • Ajouter une relation ou des sujets autorisés à un contact
  • Retirer une relation ou des sujets autorisés à un contact
  • Modifier l’adresse d’un individu autorisé ou d’un contact

Change to the company name

If the company’s name changes but the Québec business number and the legal form stay the same, inform the Customer Service via Contact us in the online services (SEL).

If the legal form changes, it is possible that a new employer number will have to be issued and a fee paid. In this case, you must contact the Customer Service either by phone or in the online services (SEL) to find out the procedure for this situation.

Cancellation of registration (cessation of activity) or reregistration (return to activity) of the company at the CCQ

If the company ceases activity, the CCQ must be notified in writing , including the date on which the company will cease its activity. 

If a company returns to activity following a cancellation of registration, the CCQ must also be notified in writing and be informed of the date on which the company will return to activity.

In both of these cases, use the form Modifier les informations d’une organisation accessible directly in the Catalogue de services in the online services.

Before cancelling a registration with the CCQ, the employer must issue termination notices to its employees. 

Once the application for cancellation of a company has been submitted to the CCQ, it will no longer be possible to file a monthly report or to amend a monthly report already filed. To return to acting as an employer, the company will have to reregister and pay the fee of $350. 

The company’s registration is cancelled automatically after 24 consecutive months of inactivity, according to the following criteria: 

  • The company has not filed a monthly report or the payment required.
  • The company has not filed a report of inactivity or the payment required.
