Ontario Incorporation FAQ – Everything You Need to Know

A Professional Corporation (PC) in Ontario is a type of corporation formed by licensed professionals—such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, engineers, and others—who want to operate their practice through a legal business entity. PCs are governed by the Business Corporations Act and must also meet the regulations of the professional’s governing body.

Only members of regulated professions can form a Professional Corporation in Ontario. Common examples include:
Physicians
Dentists
Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs)
Lawyers
Engineers
Chiropractors
Optometrists
You must hold a valid license and be in good standing with your regulatory college or association.

– Reduce corporate tax rates applicable to active business income
– Liability protection for corporate obligations (other than professional malpractice)
– Income Deferral and Investment Opportunities
– Professional image and consistency

Yes, you can incorporate online by completing a simple form on Canada Incorporation Agency website, it will take around 15 minutes. After completing the payment, we will send you a confirmation email, and our agent will contact you to confirm all the order details. We will incorporate your company and email the Certificate and Articles of incorporation to you.

Unlike regular corporations, ownership is restricted—only licensed members of the same profession can be shareholders, directors, or officers. You also have to include your professional designation and “Professional Corporation” in the name (e.g., “Dr. A. Smith Medicine Professional Corporation”).
Not really. Your corporation’s name must follow strict rules set by your regulatory body. Typically, it needs to include: Your surname (and sometimes first name or initials); your professional designation; the words “Professional Corporation”. So “Bright Smiles Dental Studio Inc.” won’t cut it—but “Dr. Jane Doe Dentistry Professional Corporation” will.
Yes! Before filing your Articles of Incorporation, you need a Certificate of Authorization (or equivalent) from your regulatory college. Without that, your incorporation will get rejected faster than a cold-call sales pitch.
Only partially. A PC protects you from general business liabilities (like leases and debts), but not from professional malpractice. For that, you’ll still need professional liability insurance.
The government fees are around 300 CAD, you will also need to pay the service fees if you choose to incorporate through the agency.
It’s not required, but it’s a good idea. Canada Incorporation Agency has a team of professional lawyers and filing agents that can help you out with the paperwork for your Professional Corporation. Bylaws, governance, and CRA compliance can get complicated.
