Update the role account and review whether the actual duties remain consistent with the case.
Describe the changed authority
Retain the revised responsibilities and explain who now performs the managerial and operational work. An old delegation document should not be treated as current if practice has materially changed.
Immediately after closing, the corporate secretary should update the register and issue certificates for the U.S. entity, and the group's registers should be brought current on the Canadian side as well. Set out which approvals, budgets, hiring authority and reporting lines pass to the successor, which remain with the departing executive during a transition, and when each shift takes effect. Update the duty breakdown, authority, staffing, worksite, and corporate facts, then determine whether an extension or amended filing is required before the authorized period expires. L-1A eligibility also rests on a continuous qualifying foreign year within the previous three and a qualifying parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship, with the foreign organization doing business; for a new-office L-1A petition, that foreign year itself must have been managerial or executive. Confirm the foreign qualifying year first, document the corporate relationship, secure premises if a new office is involved, and then align contracts, hiring, and petition evidence. Initial preparation is front-loaded onto gathering evidence about entities and duties, while a later extension is priced against how much the role and the corporate structure have changed since.
