Provincial or Federal Registration in Canada
There are two ways to register a company in Canada: provincial and federal. Most people register provincial incorporations.
However, it is always a concern how to choose between them.
When you register a corporation in a province, the name of the corporation belongs to you only within that province. Someone else can use the name in another province. Yet, in federal registration, you register a name for yourself within the entire country. Keeping the name of the company in a country level is what is interesting about federal registration.
Although to keep the name better and stronger, you can register the name and trademark.
In Canada, a part of the law is federal, and each province has its own rules. Be aware of the laws of a business zone before starting a business.
When you federally register a corporation, you should also register it in any province or state in which you are working. That is why most people register their corporations provincially. In provincial registration, local laws are exerted and taxes are provincially calculated, while in federal registration, you must separately calculate the provincial and federal taxes.
