How long can a nominee director stay in place in Canada?

Usually only for the period needed to solve the immediate structural issue, with the transition timeline documented before or at appointment.

Where a temporary appointment is used, the transition should be planned from the start: what events trigger the change, who signs the resolutions, and how the records are updated.

A clean handover usually matters just as much as the initial filing because banks, counterparties, and corporate records need the transition to be clear and timely.
