Incorporation Service for Foreign Companies in Canada

Establish a Canadian Company for Your International Business

Expand your company into Canada with a professionally established Canadian corporation. Ecompanies Canada provides an All-Inclusive Canada Incorporation Service designed for foreign companies, international corporations and overseas businesses that want to establish a separate Canadian corporate presence.

Entering Canada can be an important step in the international expansion of an established business. A foreign company may want a Canadian corporation to develop customers, enter into contracts, establish local operations, build relationships with Canadian suppliers, hire employees, develop distribution channels or create a permanent platform for its Canadian activities. Whatever the commercial objective, the first step is establishing the appropriate corporate structure.

Ecompanies Canada helps foreign companies establish their Canadian corporation through a complete online process. We coordinate the incorporation and the supporting corporate services included with the package, allowing the foreign parent company and its management team to organize the Canadian entity without having to coordinate multiple independent service providers.

Our USD 1,970 All-Inclusive Canada Incorporation Service for Foreign Companies combines the incorporation process with the Canadian corporate infrastructure international companies commonly require, including Lifetime Canada Registered Agent Service, Lifetime Business Address for Registration Purposes, corporate documentation, Corporate Minute Book, Corporate Tax ID assistance and Bank Account Opening Assistance.

Establish a Canadian Subsidiary for Your Foreign Company

An established foreign business does not necessarily need to conduct its Canadian operations directly through the foreign corporation. One common expansion structure is to establish a separate Canadian corporation owned by the foreign parent company, creating a Canadian subsidiary through which the Canadian business can operate.

A Canadian subsidiary is a distinct legal entity from its foreign parent. The Canadian corporation can generally enter into contracts, acquire assets, incur liabilities and conduct commercial activities in its own corporate name. The ownership relationship with the foreign parent can then be reflected through the Canadian corporation’s share structure and corporate records.

This structure can be useful for companies that want to create a distinct Canadian corporate presence while maintaining their existing business in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East or another international market. The foreign parent continues operating in its home jurisdiction while the Canadian corporation becomes the corporate vehicle for the company’s Canadian activities.

Ecompanies Canada coordinates the formation of that Canadian corporation and provides the supporting services included in our international incorporation package.

Canada Company Incorporation for International Businesses

Incorporating a company in Canada involves more than filing Articles of Incorporation. The company needs an appropriate corporate name or numbered designation, Articles of Incorporation, a registered office, directors and corporate records, together with the other information required by the applicable Canadian jurisdiction.

For a foreign company, additional practical considerations arise because the shareholders, directors or management team may be located entirely outside Canada. The international business may not already maintain a Canadian corporate address, may not understand the Canadian registry system and may require assistance coordinating the company’s corporate documentation and identification.

Our service is structured specifically around those international requirements. Instead of providing only an incorporation certificate, Ecompanies Canada combines the registration process with the corporate services included in our All-Inclusive package.

This provides the foreign parent company with a more complete foundation from which to organize its Canadian subsidiary and begin developing its Canadian operations.

100% Online Canadian Incorporation for Foreign Companies

Your company does not need to relocate its management team to Canada simply to begin the incorporation process. Ecompanies Canada operates through a fully online corporate services model designed to serve both Canadian and international clients.

Corporate information and documentation can be exchanged electronically, allowing the foreign company’s directors, officers and representatives to coordinate the incorporation remotely. This is particularly valuable for businesses whose head offices are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Asia, Africa or other international markets.

The process also provides a clear written record of corporate information, instructions and documentation. Instead of requiring unnecessary office appointments or meetings, our online model allows the international company to manage the Canadian corporate registration process efficiently from its existing headquarters.

From New York to London, Dubai, Madrid, Mexico City, São Paulo, Singapore or virtually anywhere else in the world, your company can begin establishing its Canadian corporate presence with Ecompanies Canada.

USD 1,970 — All-Inclusive Incorporation Service for Foreign Companies

Our USD 1,970 All-Inclusive Canada Incorporation Service provides foreign companies with the principal corporate registration and supporting services required to establish a separate Canadian corporation through one comprehensive package.

The objective is to provide international businesses with a predictable and organized incorporation process rather than advertising a basic filing price and requiring the company to purchase essential supporting services separately.

One service. One provider. One All-Inclusive price for establishing your Canadian corporation and the included corporate infrastructure.

The package includes the applicable incorporation process, corporate documentation and the Ecompanies Canada services described below, including two particularly important long-term benefits for international businesses: Lifetime Canada Registered Agent Service and Lifetime Business Address for Registration Purposes.

Provincial Name Search Report, where applicable
Applicable Canadian Government Registration Fees

Canada Lifetime Registered Agent Service
Lifetime Business Address for Registration Purposes
Corporate Tax ID / Business Number Registration Assistance
Company By-Laws and Organizational Documentation
Corporate Minute Book

Applicable Ecompanies Canada Service Taxes and Fees

Lifetime Canada Registered Agent Service

For an international company, maintaining a reliable Canadian corporate services relationship can be particularly important because the parent company’s management team may be thousands of kilometres away. Our All-Inclusive package therefore includes Canada Lifetime Registered Agent Service with no annual Ecompanies Canada Registered Agent renewal fee, while the service remains eligible and continues according to the applicable terms.

This is fundamentally different from building the Canadian company around a Registered Agent service that generates another Ecompanies Canada subscription charge every year. The Lifetime service is established as part of the original package, providing the foreign parent company with greater continuity as it develops its Canadian operations.

For a company planning to remain in Canada for the long term, that continuity can become increasingly valuable. The Canadian corporation begins its life with an established corporate services relationship rather than having to search repeatedly for a new provider as the business develops.

Lifetime Business Address for Registration Purposes

The All-Inclusive package also provides a Lifetime Business Address for Registration Purposes, with no annual Ecompanies Canada renewal fee for the included Lifetime address service while it remains eligible and continues according to its applicable terms.

This is particularly useful for foreign companies establishing a Canadian subsidiary before opening their own physical Canadian facilities. The foreign parent may initially manage the Canadian business internationally while developing customers, evaluating the market or preparing for a larger operational presence.

The included Lifetime Business Address is specifically provided for the applicable corporate registration purposes covered by the service. It is not an unrestricted physical operating office, general-purpose virtual office or unlimited mail-forwarding service. Additional address, mail handling or operational office services, where available, are separate.

Corporate Minute Book and Organizational Documentation

A properly organized Canadian corporation consists of more than its Certificate and Articles of Incorporation. The company also requires corporate records documenting its organization, ownership and important corporate decisions.

Our package therefore includes a Corporate Minute Book, Company By-Laws and applicable initial organizational documentation. These documents establish the foundation of the Canadian corporation’s internal corporate record and provide a structured location for maintaining subsequent corporate information.

This can be particularly important when the Canadian corporation is
