An extra-provincial registration is a two-step process: first, the approval of the business name, and then the actual registration. The standard processing time is typically 3 to 4 weeks. However, for those with time constraints, the government offers Express and Urgent queues. The Urgent queue provides the fastest service for this registration.

As an agent of Industry Canada, we have direct access to the corporation name database. Before submission, we conduct a name pre-search to ensure that the name is conflict-free. If the pre-search results are favorable, we proceed with the name approval submission. If there is a conflict, we will reach out via email to request alternative names, providing up to three options at no additional cost.

Yes, a name should generally consist of two elements: distinctive and descriptive.

If it doesn’t work, we will reach out to you.

A corporate seal is the official embossed seal featuring your business's legal name in Canada. It serves to establish the credibility of your registered Canadian business among the public and other business partners. The seal is applied to official documents, such as those submitted to Immigration Canada, loan or mortgage agreements, and employment contracts. It holds legal value, providing a defense in case anyone attempts to create false documents or secure a loan in your company's name. A corporate seal is highly recommended if your business is currently in operation.
