NUANS Report is the pre-requisite of name pre-approval for certain jurisdictions such as Federal, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick and Prince Edwards Island. A name pre-approval is considered after Nuans report is submitted to these jurisdictions. On the other hand, other jurisdictions such as BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Yukon and Northwest Territories, provide a name pre-approval without the need of submitting a Nuans report. For these jurisdictions, you do not need to submit a Nuans report, rather all you need to do is apply for name pre-approval directly. If a Nuans report is required to do the name pre-approval job, they will obtain it by their own. Therefore, it can be concluded, a name pre-approval is kind of guarantee that you going to get the name if you utilize it before the expiry date; while a Nuans report does not give gurantee of name pre-approval, rather it is just a proposed name and reserved by you for 90 days in order to consider for name pre-approval purpose.
