You are correct if you mean Registered Partnerships which don't qualify
because they are not their own legal entity. Only a corporation is.
This is actually not so much a CIRA problem as a Canadian Law problem
which varies wildly from province to province when it comes to RP's. The
problem is that most provinces don't let bind the entity to a contract.
I understand that this can be a PITA but you should whine to your local
province ;)
Cheers,
