About Canada Incorporation — Federal or Provincial
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
You can incorporate federally under the Canada Business Corporations Act — giving name protection across Canada but requiring at least 25% of directors to be resident Canadians — or provincially, where some provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia have no director residency requirement. After incorporation you get a Business Number from the CRA and register in each other province where the company carries on business.
For founders without a Canadian-resident director, provincial incorporation is usually the practical route. The province should match where you'll operate.
We coordinate incorporation through partner Canadian professionals and handle tax registrations and the Indian side.
| Federal (CBCA) | 25% resident Canadian directors |
|---|---|
| Ontario / BC | No director residency requirement |
| After incorporation | Business Number; GST/HST and payroll accounts as needed |
| Other provinces | Extra-provincial registration |
Work that the law requires a Canadian accountant or lawyer to sign or represent is delivered through Indus Tax's partner professionals; our team prepares the records, coordinates the filing and stays your single point of contact.
