For global entrepreneurs eyeing Canada’s vibrant financial sector, launching a Money Services Business (MSB) offers immense opportunities—but navigating the regulatory landscape can be complex. CFS Canada, based in Ottawa, Ontario, simplifies this process with expert Canada Federal Incorporation, Nominee Director Services, and MSB License Application Assistance. Our all-inclusive USD $12,970 package delivers a fully registered corporation in just 24 hours and guides you through FINTRAC compliance, empowering you to focus on building your business. Discover how CFS Canada’s personalized approach and local expertise can turn your Canadian vision into reality.
Why Canada Is a Top Choice for MSBs
Canada’s reputation as a global financial hub is built on its stable economy, transparent regulations, and strategic position as a gateway to North America. For MSBs—businesses involved in money transfers, currency exchange, or payment processing—the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) provides a clear regulatory framework that balances compliance with innovation. This makes Canada an ideal destination for entrepreneurs from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and beyond looking to establish a strong presence in the financial sector.
However, setting up an MSB involves specific steps: incorporating a federal corporation, meeting director residency requirements, and securing a FINTRAC license. These processes can be daunting without local knowledge, especially for international businesses. CFS Canada, located at 150 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, eliminates these challenges with a comprehensive, client-focused solution. Our USD $12,970 package (approximately EUR €11,673 at 1 USD ≈ 0.90 EUR) ensures your MSB is launched quickly, compliantly, and with personalized support every step of the way.
Our Tailored Services: Simplifying Your MSB Journey
At CFS Canada, we prioritize accessibility, efficiency, and client success. Our three core services—Canada Federal Incorporation, Nominee Director Service, and MSB License Application Assistance—are designed to provide a seamless path to launching your MSB. With transparent pricing and a commitment to delivering results in as little as 24 hours, we’re your trusted partner in Canada’s financial market. Let’s explore each service in detail.
1. Canada Federal Incorporation: Your Business, Ready in 24 Hours
A federal corporation offers nationwide name protection and enhanced credibility, making it a strategic choice for MSBs seeking FINTRAC approval. Our Canada Federal Incorporation Service, priced at USD $1,970 (approximately EUR €1,773), is an all-inclusive package that delivers your corporation in just 24 hours. Here’s what’s included:
- Canada Federal NUANS Report: We conduct a thorough name search to ensure your company name is unique and compliant with federal standards.
- All Government Fees: We cover all Canada Federal Government fees, eliminating unexpected costs.
- Company Bylaws: We provide professionally drafted bylaws to establish your corporate governance structure.
- Corporate Minute Book: A complete set of foundational documents, ensuring compliance and organization.
- Corporate Tax ID: We secure your Business Number from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for tax purposes.
- Service Fees and Taxes: Our transparent pricing includes all applicable taxes and professional fees.
By providing your proposed company name, business activity, and director details, we complete your incorporation within 24 hours of payment confirmation. This rapid turnaround ensures your MSB can start operations swiftly, positioning you for success in Canada’s competitive financial landscape.
2. Nominee Director Service: Compliance Made Simple
Canadian federal law requires that at least 25% of a corporation’s directors be Canadian residents, a requirement that can pose challenges for international businesses. Our Nominee Director Service, priced at USD $8,000 annually (approximately EUR €7,200), provides a passive Canadian resident director to meet this obligation while preserving your full control over operations. Tailored for MSBs, this service includes:
- Passive Director Appointment: Our nominee fulfills the legal requirement, ensuring compliance without involvement in your day-to-day operations.
- Compliance Support: The nominee assists with filing corporate annual returns, setting up a CRA Business Account, and signing necessary tax documents.
- Clear Limitations: The nominee does not manage bank accounts, engage in business contracts, or participate in financial or operational decisions, ensuring you retain complete authority.
- Eligibility Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your application to confirm alignment with our criteria, guaranteeing a professional and compliant service.
Our Nominee Director Service is designed to make compliance effortless, particularly for MSBs facing stringent regulatory requirements. With CFS Canada, you gain a reliable local partner without compromising control.
3. MSB License Application Assistance: Navigating FINTRAC with Expertise
Obtaining an MSB license from FINTRAC is a critical step for operating legally in Canada. Our MSB License Application Assistance, priced at USD $3,000 (approximately EUR €2,700), streamlines this process with expert guidance and local knowledge. Here’s what we provide:
- Application Preparation and Submission: We prepare and submit your MSB license application, ensuring all FINTRAC requirements are met.
- Documentation Coordination: We guide you in compiling necessary documentation, including KYC manuals (provided by you), to ensure accuracy and compliance.
- FINTRAC Liaison: We act as your intermediary, managing communications to expedite the process, which typically takes 2-3 months if all documents are complete.
By initiating the MSB application immediately after your company is registered, we keep your timeline on track. Our deep understanding of FINTRAC’s expectations minimizes delays, helping you achieve compliance and start operations as quickly as possible.

Addressing Common Questions
International entrepreneurs often have questions about entering Canada’s market. Here are answers to common concerns:
- Why Choose Federal Incorporation? Federal status offers nationwide name protection and credibility, ideal for MSBs seeking FINTRAC approval. Provincial incorporation (e.g., Ontario) is cheaper but limits your name’s scope.
- What Does the Nominee Director Do? Our nominee fulfills residency requirements, handles compliance tasks like annual returns, and signs tax documents, without interfering in your operations or finances.
- How Long Does the MSB License Take? Incorporation is completed in 24 hours, but the FINTRAC application process typically takes 2-3 months, assuming all documentation is complete.
Compliance and Confidentiality
CFS Canada prioritizes compliance and confidentiality. Our Nominee Director Service adheres to strict terms:
- Confidentiality: Both parties maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information, except as required by law.
- Limited Liability: The nominee director’s liability is restricted to acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct, ensuring you retain control over business outcomes.
- Termination Flexibility: The service runs for one year, renewable, with a 30-day written notice for termination (non-refunded prepaid fees apply).
All agreements are governed by Ontario law, providing a secure legal framework.
