Frequently asked questions
Can a non-resident incorporate a company in Canada?
Yes, non-residents can generally own a Canadian corporation. Director residency and other requirements depend on whether you incorporate federally or in a province, so confirm them for your situation.
Should I incorporate federally or in a province?
Federal incorporation can give name protection across Canada, while a provincial one is often simpler if you operate mainly in that province. The right choice depends on where and how you plan to do business.
