BUSINESS ACCOUNTS & RECORDS GUIDE
Understand the differences between business formation, corporate supplies, registry records and government account registrations.
Non-resident business options depend on the proposed structure, jurisdiction and activities. A new Canadian corporation and a Canadian branch of a foreign company follow different registration routes. Address and director requirements also vary.
Describe your ownership and intended operations before choosing a service. Business registration does not itself give you immigration status or permission to work in Canada.
Ask about non-resident support ↗A corporate kit helps organize internal company documents. Available supplies may include a minute book, share certificates or a corporate seal. Buying a kit does not create completed resolutions or keep your company records current automatically.
A corporate records request obtains available registry information, such as a profile report, certificate of status or copies of articles. Choose the document and jurisdiction your recipient needs.
Explore corporate records ↗A business number identifies a business to the CRA. Program accounts, such as GST/HST and payroll, are added when needed for particular obligations. Registering a business name does not mean every tax account is already open.
Check whether your business already has a number before requesting one. Opening a CRA program account is separate from setting up online access to manage it.
Explore CRA account setup ↗A CRA payroll account handles payroll deductions and remittances. Workers’ compensation registration is a separate provincial or territorial process, handled by organizations such as Ontario’s WSIB.
Coverage requirements depend on your location, industry and workforce. Confirm the applicable board’s rules, including whether registration is mandatory or optional for your business.

Non-residents can explore Canadian business formation and registration options. The available route and requirements depend on the structure, jurisdiction and intended activities. Confirm address and director requirements before selecting a service. Registration is separate from immigration or work authorization.
Corporate supplies may include a minute book, share certificates and a corporate seal. Contents vary by product or package, so review the selected option before ordering. A kit helps organize records; it does not automatically prepare resolutions or update company information.
No. A kit provides supplies for organizing company documents. A corporate records service obtains available registry documents or reports, such as articles, a corporate profile or a certificate of status. Internal company records and public registry records serve different purposes.
Available options may include corporate profile reports, certificates of status and copies of incorporation certificates or articles. Availability depends on the jurisdiction and registry. Provide the exact company name or number and confirm the document type your recipient requires.
A business number is the nine-digit identifier used by the CRA. Program accounts add a program identifier and reference number for a specific obligation, such as GST/HST or payroll. A business may have one business number with several program accounts.
No. Registration depends on factors such as taxable activities, revenue and the rules that apply to your business. Voluntary registration may be available in some cases. Check the current CRA requirements before applying, particularly for non-resident businesses or special activities.
A payroll account is generally needed when you have payroll deduction and remittance obligations as an employer. Confirm your responsibilities and registration timing with the CRA. Prepare the business details, first payment date and other information requested for your application.
No. Mandatory coverage depends on the province or territory, industry and workers involved. Some businesses may qualify for optional coverage, and special rules can apply to certain industries. Check the relevant workers’ compensation board’s requirements for your operations.
No. Workers’ compensation registration and CRA program accounts are separate processes. A CRA payroll account does not automatically register your business with a workers’ compensation board. Select the appropriate services based on where you operate and your obligations.
Fees and processing times depend on the service, jurisdiction and information required. Review the current options on the selected service page before ordering. Missing details, document availability or requests from the relevant authority may affect completion time.
