Starting a company in Canada as a non-resident is possible, but it requires understanding the rules of incorporation. You can register either federally or in a specific province, and the choice depends on your business goals.
If you want your company name protected across the whole country and the ability to operate in all provinces, federal incorporation is the right option.
If you plan to run your business mainly in one province, then provincial incorporation is simpler and more cost-effective.
For non-residents, the director residency requirement is the key factor. Some provinces like British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec allow 100% foreign ownership without the need for a Canadian resident director. Others, such as Ontario, Alberta, and Manitoba, require at least 25% of directors to be Canadian residents.
Entrepreneurs from outside Canada looking to expand internationally.
Foreign companies wanting to set up a Canadian subsidiary.
Startups aiming to raise funds from Canadian or North American investors.
