Records may be kept at a non-principal location if which conditions are satisfied?

• A. The location is within Ontario
• B. The Registrar has been informed
• C. The Registrar has been informed and the location is within Ontario
• D. Records must be kept at the principal place of business

Answer: (C)

Records can be kept at a non-principal location only when two things are true: the Registrar has been informed, and the location is within Ontario. Informing the Registrar provides regulatory oversight and ensures the location can be verified or inspected if needed. Keeping the records within Ontario places them under provincial jurisdiction and the associated rules for accessibility, privacy, and accountability. If either condition isn’t met, storing records at a non-principal location isn’t allowed.
