In some cases, the jurisdiction overlaps, and both the provinces and the federal government can make laws on the same matters. Each of the provinces, territories, and the federal government can grant an incorporation. This means that you can incorporate a corporation in any province or territory in Canada, or you can incorporate a federal corporation. There are some differences in the incorporation legislation between each of the provinces and the federal government, which sometimes affects your choice of where to incorporate. All of the provinces will recognize a corporation incorporated in another province or federally, and the federal government will recognize a corporation incorporated in any of the provinces.
Most businesses choose to use a local lawyer to handle the incorporation of a subsidiary.
All Saskatchewan lawyers can incorporate either a Saskatchewan corporation or a federal corporation. They can also assist you in obtaining an incorporation in another province. The place where you will choose to incorporate depends mainly on who you wish to appoint to the board of directors. For both Saskatchewan corporations and federal corporations, the majority of the directors must be Canadian residents. Not all of the provinces have this residency requirement.
