Canadian subsidiary or simple registration: which option for a French or Belgian company setting up in Quebec?

Both options work with an Ancre address, and the choice depends on tax, liability, and what your Canadian customers expect. A simple REQ registration is enough to test the market, invoice, and receive mail, while keeping the parent company as the only legal entity. A subsidiary incorporated in Quebec or federally gives you a distinct Canadian entity, often preferred by banks, large purchasers, and grant programs. Ancre serves as registered office or establishment in both cases; the decision itself belongs to your accountant or lawyer, whom the Kebek IA team can help you find.
