Legal Question in Business Law in Canada
Non-resident incorporation in British Columbia
I currently live in the U.S. and am a U.S. citizen. I am looking to start a company in British Columbia. Is there a way to go ahead and incorporate a company in B.C. before actually moving there, so that I can begin to look for funding, etc.? There is no company in existence yet, so the branch or subsidiary options that I have seen would not apply.

The answer is yes.
You may either acquire a numbered company that is already incorporated OR you may incorporate a new B.C. company.
There are no residency requirements for incorporated under the BC Business Corporations Act.
