This post is just an FYI. This is to show which of the codes are available now in the modernized application and which codes are expected to be added for the corps release.
Note: The entity codes implemented in the new BCROS system have been mapped 1-to-1 from the existing entity codes supported in the existing Registry systems.
The column marked ‘Active’ in the table below denotes types that have live entities associated with them in the new system currently.
The column marked ‘MVP’ denotes corporation entity types that form part of the planned Corporations release.
