Is a Canadian entity. Non-residents can open an LP in the province of Ontario and British Columbia (BC). LP is the most common and popular format of registration for non-residents. Profit goes to relevant persons only, therefore income tax rule is followed as of the country the person is living in. If business activities occur in Canada, an LP must have a GST/HST Account, PST Account for BC, Payroll account to pay employee in Canada, WSIB/WCB/WSIB if employee hired in Canada. You need to have a registered office address and an attorney in the province you register an LP. We offer both services.
You qualify to register for an extra-provincial registration if you already have a registered business in your home country or in a third country. An extra-provincial registration is not a Canadian entity, rather a branch registration of your business in Canada. You can enjoy zero tax rule if your business activities outside of Canada or your country have tax treaty with Canada. You need to have a registered office address and a Attorney in the province you are doing an extra-provincial registration. We offer both services.
As a non-resident, you can register a standard Canadian corporation in BC, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Quebec. A standard corporation is a Canadian entity. You need at least a principal director and a principal shareholder. The principal director or shareholder can be non-residents and with foreign address. You need to have a registered office address and a attorney in the province you are doing an extra-provincial registration. We offer both services.
This option is eligible only for an existing L.L.C. As long as you have an existing L.L.C registered in United States or any other country (regardless of owner’s citizenship or residence), the same L.L.C can register in same legal structure (L.L.C) in the province of Ontario. It’s similar to an extra provincial registration, with an exception that an extra-provincial registration is not a Canadian entity, while an Ontario L.L.C is a Canadian entity.
