Best incorporation services in Canada (2026)
We’ve incorporated companies through the major Canadian online incorporators. Here’s how Ownr, LawDepot, and MyCorporation actually compare on price, scope of work, support, and what you get after the certificate lands in your inbox.
Ownr - best overall
Cleanest UX, broadest coverage (federal + every province), includes minute book and ongoing compliance reminders. Pricier than LawDepot but the post-incorporation value is real.
LawDepot - cheapest legit option
Filings start at $79 + government fees, with optional NUANS, minute book, and rush filing add-ons.

How we evaluated
We graded each service on five dimensions: (1) all-in price including government fees, (2) jurisdictions supported, (3) inclusions in the base package (NUANS, minute book, share certificates, bylaws), (4) post-incorporation value (compliance reminders, annual return filing, corporate changes), and (5) responsiveness of support across email and chat.
1. Ownr - best overall
Ownr is the RBCx-backed incumbent and the most polished product on the list. The wizard handles federal and every provincial incorporation, generates a customizable minute book with share certificates and bylaws, and the dashboard keeps a running checklist of annual filings.
Pros
- Federal + all 10 provinces supported
- Minute book, share certs, bylaws included
- Ongoing compliance reminders built in
- Discounts on legal templates and RBC banking
Cons
- Most expensive option at the entry tier
- Upsells to legal services can feel busy
2. LawDepot - cheapest legit option
LawDepot is the low-cost option for founders who want a guided filing flow without paying for a bundled premium package. On LawDepot’s official Canada incorporation page, the base filing fee starts at $79, standard filing is listed at 4–7 business days, and a one-business-day rush add-on is available. Best for straightforward federal, Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan filings where you care most about price.
Pros
- $79 entry price on standard filings
- NUANS and minute book sold à la carte
- Rush filing option available
Cons
- Base package is lean by design
- Minute book is an add-on, not included
- Quebec is not in the current package list
3. MyCorporation - hands-off filing support
MyCorporation has an active Canada filings business and positions itself as a paperwork-handling service for founders who want more guided support than a bare-bones checkout. On its Canada incorporation pages, MyCorporation lists federal incorporation starting at CAN$299 plus provincial fees and says each corporation package includes Articles of Incorporation, sample bylaws, sample documents, and customer support.
Pros
- Canada-specific incorporation flow is live
- Packages include bylaws and sample corporate documents
- Broader maintenance and filing support beyond formation
Cons
- Higher starting price than LawDepot
- Less polished than Ownr on the public-facing flow

FAQ
Which incorporator is cheapest?
LawDepot is the current budget pick, starting at $79 + government filing fees on its official Canada incorporation page.
Do these services file in every province?
Ownr covers federal and all provinces. LawDepot currently lists packages for federal, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. MyCorporation has active Canada incorporation and maintenance pages, but you should confirm your exact province and filing path at checkout.
Is the minute book included?
Included with Ownr. LawDepot sells minute-book style paperwork as add-ons; MyCorporation says its Canada corporation packages include sample bylaws and sample documents.
Can I switch incorporators later?
Yes - the corporation itself is filed with the government, not the service. You can move your minute book and ongoing filings to a different provider anytime.
