346.0.4.2. At the end of the one-year period specified in section 346.0.4, an agency must refuse to issue a certificate of compliance if the operator of a private seniors’ residence does not meet the health and social criteria prescribed under paragraph 2 of section 346.0.6.
An agency may also refuse to issue a certificate for any of the reasons listed in section 346.0.11.
In exceptional circumstances, an agency may extend the one-year period referred to in the first paragraph, in particular if the failure to meet a health and social criterion is attributable to a cause beyond the operator’s control. The agency may attach conditions to the extension.
