Federal (Canada) Incorporation
Federal incorporation secures your corporate name across Canada and offers national business recognition. It is ideal for companies planning to operate in multiple provinces.

Corporate filing ensures your business stays compliant by submitting required documents like annual returns and updates. Timely filings protect your corporation’s legal standing.
Notice of Changes
File a Notice of Changes when updating directors, officers, addresses, or share structures. Maintaining accurate public records helps avoid penalties and ensures compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to incorporate a business in Canada?
Incorporating means registering your business as a legal entity separate from its owners. It offers benefits like limited liability, potential tax advantages, and enhanced credibility.
Do I need a NUANS Report to incorporate?
Yes, if you’re incorporating a named company (not numbered), you’ll need a NUANS Report to confirm that your desired business name isn’t already taken.
How long does it take to incorporate in Canada?
It typically takes a few hours to a few business days, depending on whether you incorporate federally or provincially and if all documents are submitted correctly.
What’s the difference between federal and provincial incorporation?
Federal incorporation allows you to operate your business across Canada under the same name. Provincial incorporation limits name protection and operations to that specific province.
Can I use my domain name as my company name?
Not necessarily. Even if you own the domain, your company name still needs to be legally cleared through a NUANS Report or provincial name search.
What are the key parts of a business name?
A strong business name includes a distinctive element (like a brand name) and a descriptive element (like “Consulting” or “Bakery”). Together, they help clearly identify your business.
What documents do I need to get started?
You’ll typically need your proposed business name, address, directors’ details, share structure, and the NUANS Report (if applicable). We help make the process quick and easy.

How to Incorporate Your Business in Canada - Step-by-Step Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you incorporate my company using Canada Incorporation Agency?
We all know time is money—particularly when you’re opening up shop. That is why Canada Incorporation Agency simplifies the process so you can incorporate in just one business hour. All you have to do is complete it all online, and we handle the filing for you. We get most customers their official paperwork the same day, making Canada Incorporation Agency one of the quickest and most trusted Canadian incorporation services around.
May I register my business name prior to incorporation?
For sure. If you already have a name in mind, we can assist you in reserving it prior to proceeding with the incorporation. We’ll perform a quick name search and, if necessary, prepare a NUANS report to ensure that your business name is available and complies with government requirements. That way, you don’t get any surprises and can proceed confidently.
Do I incorporate federally or provincially?
Excellent question—and one we get asked a lot. If you’re doing business in more than one Canadian province and you require national name protection, then federal incorporation is probably the choice for you. If you’re keeping it to one province for the time being, then provincial incorporation could be simpler. No problem—we can provide both options and assist you in selecting the one that best suits your objectives.
What types of businesses can be incorporated through your site?
Canada Incorporation Agency facilitates the formation of all major types of businesses in Canada. You can incorporate any standard corporation, professional corporation (for doctors, lawyers, etc.), non-profit, or holding corporation, and we have the tools and legal assistance to complete it efficiently and effectively. We even facilitate more specialized arrangements such as real estate corporation and extra-provincial registration.
Can I update my corporation details after it's been registered?
Yes, and it is incredibly easy. You can update your company address, change directors, prepare and file your annual return, and amend your articles, and we’ve got you covered. Canada Incorporation Agency provides you with the complete post-incorporation package to ensure you’re compliant and organized, without having to struggle through government forms yourself.
