Can I keep my Professional Corporation (PC) after I retire?

Posted October 31, 2024

Physicians must be active on the CPSA register to maintain a Professional Corporation (PC) in Alberta. The PC will automatically close when the physician’s practice permit ends. We suggest contacting a lawyer/accountant before your PC ends. CPSA does not provide legal advice for PCs.
