You need a Canadian director for federal Corp - but of course you don’t need one for a provincial Corp. have you reached out to our office yet ? We can assist with your case if you need any support or would like to outsource the entire process. Work permit to PR

@@INGWECanada Yes I have filled the assessment and everything from your office but its a bit confusing on the fee structure

[@INGWECanada]

@@passivelyfactual We send out a rough range for applicants to understand before they engage with us directly. It's actually not a formal quote :-) If you give the green light to our office that you have a budget, we can check and then link you to Reza & the business immigration team directly (they will assess, get on a call, and quote fees for your specific case) - this is offered for eligible applicants only.
