A proposal to refuse registration of a dealer or salesperson may be issued if OMVIC’s Registrar believes:

1. The applicant cannot reasonably be expected to be financially responsible in the conduct of business.
2. The past conduct of the applicant affords reasonable grounds for belief that the applicant will not carry on business in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty.
3. The applicant (or an employee or agent of the applicant) makes a false statement (or provides a false statement) in an application for registration or for renewal of registration. Note: making a false statement not only disqualifies the applicant from registration, it is also an offence under the Act; charges could be laid.
4. The applicant has failed to comply with terms and conditions of registration.
