Many companies ask me about filing to Alberta.

There is some confusion about which companies really need to file to Alberta. If your company is located or has a branch in Alberta you should file with them. If you are a company incorporated or domiciled in the United States, Canadian property records should be treated like any other foreign records and reported to your state of incorporation.

Reports are due April 30th for all holder types. Alberta has an online filing process which will allow holders to report unclaimed property. Holders may use the web form submission process to report small number of properties or the XML File Upload process to report large numbers of property.
