Foreign ownership restriction & How to set up a Subsidiary or branch in Canada

[Anne Sun]

Is there any foreign ownership restriction/limitation about a foreign company buy an existing Canadian company. What's the Maximum ownership a foreign company can have?
How can a foreign company set up its subsidiary or branch in Canada?

this question, I guess is geared more towards a CA or corporate law attorney.

You can buy and own up to 100% of Canadian company. You also can open a new 100% owned subsidiary in Canada. However, federal corp and some provincial corp require minimum 25% percent of directors to be Canadian Citizen or PR. BC, QC, Nova Scotia not require this.
