FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a non-resident incorporate in Canada?

Yes, though some provinces have director-residency rules — we choose the structure that fits you.

Federal or provincial?

It depends on where you will operate and your goals; we advise per case.

How long does formation take?

Timelines depend on the jurisdiction and on the completeness of your documents. We confirm a realistic timeline in your written quote and keep you informed at each step.

What does it cost?

We quote a fixed legal fee in writing before work begins. Government, registry and registered-agent charges are set by third parties and listed separately and clearly.

Who looks after the company after formation?

We can. Renewals, registered-agent services and annual filings can be added as a fixed annual engagement, so one team stays responsible for your structure.

This page is general information, not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship is formed by reading it. Program, tax and filing rules change; we confirm the specifics for your situation at consultation.
