You need:

Gst Number (yes you have to charge gst)

Liability Insurance

WCB

To get going.
CPP/EI only matter if you're paying yourself salary. If you pull dividends you don't have to contribute, but won't get anything toward your pension.

Medical and RRSPs are all up to your discretion. As someone earlier pointed out you need to be making basically 20% more hourly than an employee to reap the benefits of contracting. The big plus is corporate income tax is much lower than income tax.
