Characteristics of Canadian Companies

Keep the following items in mind when placing an order for a Canadian registration:

  • Companies may register either at the federal level or with a particular province or territory.
  • Once your company's name is approved federally, it has protected status across Canada that is second only to trademark protection.
  • Companies may file numbered corporations. A numbered corporation receives a number rather than a name from the corporate registry. Businesses use numbered companies to avoid having to identify and search for a unique name.
