If you already have a company in Surrey, BC, and want to incorporate in Brampton, is the process the same?

[@CanedatoCanada]

"Yes, the process for incorporating a business is generally the same across provinces in Canada, including in Surrey, BC, and Brampton, Ontario. However, there may be provincial differences, like registration fees or specific requirements

[@prajal161]

I followed same steps and able to incorporate, just to confirm it creates a Federal incorporation, now question is, I did mention main office is in Ontrio and address is from there as well. Do I have to rigister for ontraio province to run business or I can do without it? I have tried to search my business name in Ontario but couldn't find so not sure, it registered there or not! how do I confirm that I can do business in Ontario? please guide

[@CanedatoCanada]

ChatGPT ChatGPT If you've incorporated federally but specified your main office and address in Ontario, you'll likely need to register your federal corporation in Ontario to operate there legally. To confirm if your business name is registered in Ontario, you can search the Ontario Business Names database or contact the Ontario government's business registration office for verification. It's essential to ensure compliance with provincial regulations to conduct business in Ontario smoothly. @prajal161

Agar Director Open work permit pe hai, to resident Canadian wale mein kya select karna hai? NO karate hain to next page pe nhi jata par YES karne pe ja raha hai. I know that since 2021, incorporate koi bhi register kar sakta hai Ontario mein - does not matter if they are PR/Citizen. YES ya NO main se kaunsa select karein?

[@CanedatoCanada]

Hi Ravneet, If you are on an Open Work Permit and incorporating a business in Canada, particularly in Ontario, you will still need to select "YES" for the resident Canadian option. This is because, since 2021, the rules in Ontario allow non-Canadian residents (like those on a work permit) to incorporate a business, but you may still need to select "YES" to proceed.

[@RajanKumar-dd6rc]

It’s same fir trucking job right?

[@zahidxa74]

May I know if we can change address and province of the company ?

[@CanedatoCanada]

Yes, you can change the address of your incorporated business in Ontario, Canada. To do so, you'll need to file the necessary forms with Corporations Canada or the Ontario government, depending on the type of incorporation you have. Generally, you'll need to update your business address through the appropriate government portal or by submitting the necessary forms by mail or online. Be sure to check the specific requirements and procedures outlined by the government authorities to ensure a smooth transition. @zahidxa74

[@manveerkaur5390]

Is this the same way to open business company as a truck driver ?? I am trying to open a business incorporation account as a truck driver

[@CanedatoCanada]

Indeed, the process for opening a business incorporation account, whether as a truck driver or any other entrepreneur, involves demonstrating financial readiness and compliance with relevant regulations. It's advisable to seek guidance from financial institutions and legal experts to navigate the process smoothly and ensure all requirements are met appropriately.

Where i can find virtual address services in Canada

[@CanedatoCanada]

You can find virtual address services in Canada through various companies offering virtual office solutions, such as Regus, Davinci Virtual, or Alliance Virtual Offices. Additionally, searching online directories or platforms like Google Maps can help you locate providers in specific regions within Canada.

[@chiragamareliya4719]

Thank you Buddy! Is it same process for Nova scotia? Or do we need to apply to The Registry Of Joint Stock Companies?

[@CanedatoCanada]

Hi Chirag, For a provincial only business, yes RJSC in Nova Scotia is the official body responsible for businesses. However, if the business is also to be registered federally then the process is just the same as shared in this video.

[@immigrationandvisas]

What kind of benefits can get a person to registering a company in Canada as a non resident? Can he get a visa for himself or for his family?

Any foreign entrepreneur that wants to start a business in Canada will have to go through the business immigration process if the entrepreneur wants to run the business while being in Canada.

For extra provincial registration (Ontario), it says the government of Ontario does not accept registrations with post-dated commencement data. Should I wait until business starts to proceed with Ontario registration? Not sure how to do it if I wait

[@CanedatoCanada]

Ideally the commencement date should be the date when you're trying to register the business. So, if you mention the commencement date as the same date when you try to register, it should work.

How to do tax filing? And how to apply for business account?

[@CanedatoCanada]

For tax filing, hire a tax accounting Specialist, search online on Google Maps to find someone in your area.

[@CanedatoCanada]

For a Business Bank account, compare the business bank account plans/offers for the banks you're interested in. Also, check which is near to your residence or in the way to your regular commute. To open, book an online appointment with the bank following the instructions on their website, or you may also visit the bank directly. It's always better to have an appointment.

Hi.how to register in Canada job bank as a corporation ?

[@CanedatoCanada]

@IneshFernando Currently, the Canada Job Bank doesn't have a specific registration process tailored for corporations. The platform primarily caters to individual job seekers and employers. If you're looking to post job listings as a corporation, you can register on the Job Bank as an employer using your corporation's information. The platform doesn't have a distinct registration pathway exclusively for corporations.

Anyone who is on work permit holder are they able to create it ? Can we say yes in resident canadian section if we are on open work permit

[@CanedatoCanada]

Yes, individuals on a work permit, including an open work permit, are generally allowed to start a business in Canada. However, for the 'resident Canadian' section, you would need to check if your work permit status qualifies you as a 'resident' for incorporation purposes. It's best to confirm with legal or business professionals to ensure everything is done correctly.

[@CanedatoCanada]

ISEDC verification is typically a mandatory part of the incorporation process in Canada. As a Canadian PR setting up a corporation from abroad, complying with this verification is essential. There isn't a way to incorporate a business without undergoing ISEDC verification, as it's a standard procedure to ensure compliance with Canadian regulations.@user-dm7ow2cl6m

Yes, you can open a corporation in Canada while on an open work permit. However, there are specific rules regarding who can serve as a director. Generally, at least 25% of the directors must be Canadian residents. If you are the sole director and not a Canadian resident, you may face challenges unless you find a Canadian resident to fulfill the director requirement. For provinces like British Columbia, there are more flexible rules that may allow non-residents to be directors. You should consult with a legal or business professional to ensure you meet all the necessary requirements for your specific situation.

[@CanedatoCanada]

As far as I know, for Uber also a business is registered. If you want to start work in a different domain (say Amazon) under the same/existing business, you can call on the CRA number (shared in video) and tell them that you want to work also in this domain. They'll update your business nature in their records. On the other hand, if you want to start a brand new separate business, follow all the steps shared in the video. Let us know if this helps, or if you have more questions.

No, you do not need to be a Permanent Resident to open a federal corporation in Canada. You can start a federal corporation as a non-resident, but you will need to appoint a Canadian resident as a director for the corporation. For provincial corporations, the requirements can vary by province. Generally, most provinces also require at least one director to be a Canadian resident, but there may be exceptions or additional rules depending on the province. Always check the specific requirements for the province where you plan to incorporate.
