Starting a Business in Canada: Federal Incorporation & Start-up Visas

Canada is an exceptionally attractive market for global entrepreneurs. Businesses can incorporate federally under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) or provincially. International innovators can obtain permanent residence through the Canadian Start-up Visa (SUV) Program by securing a commitment from a designated Canadian angel investor group, venture capital fund, or business incubator.

Key 2026 Statutory & Regulatory Checkpoints:
  • Federal incorporation vs Provincial incorporation advantages, name approvals, and extra-provincial licensing.
  • Start-up Visa (SUV) Program requirements: minimum CAD $75,000 angel investment or $200,000 VC funding commitment.
  • Corporate income tax rates, Small Business Deduction (SBD 9% federal rate), and GST/HST business registration.

Frequently Asked Questions: Business, Startups & Work

The SUV Program offers direct permanent residence to immigrant entrepreneurs who demonstrate a viable, innovative business idea supported by a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator.

Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations (CCPCs) eligible for the Small Business Deduction pay a reduced net federal corporate tax rate of 9% on active business income up to the CAD $500,000 business limit.
