Are two separate registrations (and two separate #'s) required - one to register the sole proprietorship business name with the Ontario government, and a second registration (and #) with CRA for GST? Or is the Ontario # the same one to also use for GST?

A sole proprietorship will have a single business number registered with the CRA. However, for GST/HST purposes, the business number ends in RT0001.
