A Montreal foothold for your business from Dakar or Abidjan.
Trade, representation, a Canadian subsidiary or arrival with a work permit: Ancre receives and reads your official mail in Montreal, then forwards it by DHL Express in 5 to 8 days to Dakar or Abidjan, with monthly consolidation included.
What actually gets in the way
A Canadian partner hesitates to sign with a company that has no address in Canada.
Shipments to West Africa are expensive; without consolidation, every letter becomes a DHL invoice.
REQ and CRA notices require a reply within a deadline international post does not meet.
