In general, you should incorporate federally if you plan to do business in multiple provinces across Canada or provincially if you want to operate only in the province of Alberta.

Get a NUANS report to make sure your corporation name is unique

Unlike sole proprietorships and partnerships, corporations must have a unique name. You can choose your own unique corporation name, or have a "numbered name" assigned to your business by the government (such as "785843 Alberta Inc.", sometimes called a "numbered company") when you file your Articles of Incorporation.

If you choose your own name, you must obtain a NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) report from an authorized NUANS search house to prove that your corporation name is unique (for both federal and provincial incorporation).

A NUANS report will reserve your corporation name for 90 days. That means you have to complete the incorporation of your business within 90 days of getting your NUANS report.

Submit incorporation documents to the government to officially incorporate your business
To officially incorporate your business in Alberta, you must file three documents:

Articles of Incorporation:
This tells the government how your business is organized, who owns it, and where it's located.

Notice of Directors:
Defines who is in charge of your corporation

Notice of Address:
Tells the government where your business can be reached
