Most of what incorporation gives you is deferral, not saving. You pay the low corporate rate now and personal tax later when the money comes out. Covers the Ontario small business rate, the passive income grind, TOSI, salary versus dividends, and the capital gains exemption on a sale.
Your articles are the corporation’s founding document: name, registered office, share structure, director range and restrictions. Covers what goes in them, Ontario versus federal filing, the $360 and $200 government fees, ordering certified copies, and how to amend them later.
The corporation holds the account, not you. Incorporation takes a day; bank onboarding is where non-residents lose weeks. Covers beneficial ownership at 25%, the ISC register, Schedule I and II banks, FINTRAC identification, CRA program accounts and Part XIII withholding for foreign owners.
You can own 100% of an Ontario corporation without living in Canada, and Ontario no longer requires a resident director. What you cannot avoid is a real Ontario street address for the registered office. Covers OBCA versus CBCA director rules, required documents, government fees and CRA registration for non-resident founders.
