LEAR: NR expiry extension flow could cause issues #23052

Open severinbeauvais opened 2 months ago

severinbeauvais commented 2 months ago

As per #3883, a NR's expiry is auto-extended to a filing's future-effective date plus 1 day buffer.

However, it appears that this auto-extension is done when the filing is submitted and before it's paid.

Possible problem # 1: If the user doesn't pay until after the NR expires then the NR is invalid and the filing will fail.

Possible problem # 2: ~After a continuation in application is submitted, staff need to review and approve the authorization document(s). If that takes a few days -- past when the NR expires -- then the NR is invalid and the filing will fails. This problem can be mitigated by staff manually extending the NR expiry date (per link in review table). Also, as the review / application process is subject to change, this may never be an issue.~ no longer a problem because of the continuation in redesign

Update: Actually, this issue will affect all registrations, incorporations, amalgamations and continuation-ins with a NR if the user files it and defers payment until after the NR expires.

I don't have a solution for this.

@Mihai-QuickSilverDev , what do you think we should do?
