What is a corporation?

Where should I incorporate?
Once you have made the decision to incorporate, the next decision becomes where to incorporate. You are not required to incorporate in your home province, but instead may choose to incorporate Federally.
Consider this:
Cost: Incorporating federally is usually more expensive than provincially.
Name Protection: Federal companies offer strong national name protection. Annual Filings: One set of filings if provincially incorporated, two sets if federally incorporated.
Location of Business: Do you do business locally or nationally? If nationally, Federal may be better.Timeline: Federal company, usually 48 hours (not including business reg.) Ontario - usually same day.
Quebec - 8 business days MINIMUM. Processing times can change without notice due to delays with the Registraire des Entreprises and are out of the control of IncorpDirect Inc. Quebec offers rush service at a premium.
