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.
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.
