FAQs

Common questions answered.

Can I register a company in India from Canada without visiting India?

Yes. The entire process is done online through MCA21. All documents are submitted digitally with apostilled copies from Global Affairs Canada. No travel to India is required.

How do I apostille documents in Canada for India company registration?

Canadian documents must be authenticated through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) Authentication Services in Ottawa. The process typically takes 5–10 business days. A Canadian notary may be required before submission to GAC.

Does my Indian company need a Canadian director?

No — only one director must be a resident of India (present for 182+ days in the previous calendar year). We can help arrange a nominee resident director if needed.

Can a Canadian national own 100% of an Indian company?

Yes, in most sectors. India allows 100% FDI under the Automatic Route in IT, consulting, manufacturing, and e-commerce. A few sectors require prior government approval.

How long does it take to register a company in India from Canada?

Typically 15–25 working days once all apostilled documents are ready. The GAC authentication process takes approximately 5–10 business days.

Does the Canada-India FIPA protect my investment?

Yes. The Canada-India Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) provides Canadian investors with protection against expropriation and access to international arbitration if investment protections are violated by the Indian government.
