§ Business for Foreigners

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.

§ Why the Route Matters

New entity, or extend an existing one — the right choice depends on what you already have.

01 · New To Canada
Subsidiary or LLC

If you have no Canadian entity yet, incorporate a fresh subsidiary or LLC-equivalent structure tied to your home company.

02 · Already Registered
Extra-Provincial

Already incorporated elsewhere? Extend that same corporation into a new province with a license, not a new entity.

03 · Residency

Varies by province

Director residency rules differ — we route your filing to a jurisdiction that fits.

04 · Not Sure?

We'll advise you

Tell us your situation and we’ll recommend the structure before you file anything.

Every province

Filed directly with the correct registry in all provinces and territories.

§ Common questions

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.

No. We handle the entire process — name search, filing, registered office, and business number — remotely.

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.

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.

Most standard filings are completed within 1–5 business days once we have your documents, depending on the province and entity type.
