She can enroll for a GST # here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/busines...ns/menu-e.html

She will need to open a business bank account and will require her certificate of incoroporation to do so.

Also, she may be required to get WCB (depending on the contracting firm). You can sign up for most of it online.

Also, ask a certain short Sri Lankan contractor you currently work with for the contact info of a good accountant we both use.

The accountant can help with any other questions.

The first thing you do though is register the company. She can be President and CEO owning 100% of the shares in a privately held company.
Our lawyer recommended we not register for GST until you actually start doing some work. If she's going to be getting work immediately then you'll want to do that, but if not then you just end up doing a lot of paperwork for nothing.

She'll need to send something in to the WCB immediately though.
