Own and run a Canadian business, from anywhere.
You don’t need residency or citizenship to incorporate here — you need the right structure and the right filings. We handle both, remotely, so non-resident founders can register and operate legally in Canada.
- Fully remote, no travel required
- Director residency guidance by province
- Most filings back in 1–5 business days
Pick the route that fits your situation.
Each path suits a different starting point — a brand-new venture, an existing company abroad, or a corporation already registered elsewhere in Canada.
LLC for Foreigners
Extra-Provincial License
Already incorporated elsewhere? Extend your existing corporation into a new Canadian province with a license — no new entity, no fresh incorporation.
Subsidiary Company in Canada
Establish a separate legal entity in Canada tied to your parent company abroad — limiting liability while building local credibility and access to Canadian contracts.
Register as a Non-Resident
No citizenship or residency required. We manage your name search, filing, registered office, and business number end-to-end, remotely.
From your first email to your certificate.
Free Consultation
Tell us your goals and home country — we recommend the right entity and route.
Documentation
We prepare all filings, agreements, and registered-office paperwork for you to review.
Filing & Registration
We submit everything to the correct provincial or federal registry on your behalf.
Confirmation

New entity, or extend an existing one — the right choice depends on what you already have.
If you have no Canadian entity yet, incorporate a fresh subsidiary or LLC-equivalent structure tied to your home company.
Already incorporated elsewhere? Extend that same corporation into a new province with a license, not a new entity.
Varies by province
Director residency rules differ — we route your filing to a jurisdiction that fits.

Registering a business from outside Canada, explained.
Can a non-resident own 100% of a Canadian company?
Yes. Most provinces and the federal jurisdiction allow full foreign ownership; only director residency requirements vary, and we route your incorporation to a jurisdiction that fits.
Do I need to visit Canada to register a business?
No. We handle the entire process — name search, filing, registered office, and business number — remotely.
What's the difference between a subsidiary and extra-provincial registration?
A subsidiary is a new, separate Canadian company owned by your parent company. Extra-provincial registration extends an existing corporation into a new province without creating a new entity.
Are there director residency requirements?
Some provinces require a percentage of Canadian-resident directors; others, like British Columbia and Ontario for most filings, do not. We confirm the requirement for your chosen jurisdiction upfront.
How long does registration take?
Most standard filings are completed within 1–5 business days once we have your documents, depending on the province and entity type.
