The new season is almost upon us, or has already begun. I wish you a calm one, full of projects.
It is an opportunity for me to offer you a new column of legal and tax information. An unpretentious and very direct column, the aim being to bring you concrete information on the subject of your successful establishment in Canada.
Immigration programs dedicated to ambitious entrepreneurs, French ones in particular, are currently open and give access to Permanent Resident status. They are known as “Streams” 1, 2 and 3.
In practice, creating or taking over a business in Canada is the starting point. On the strength of that acquisition or creation, an immigration program leading to Permanent Residence can be launched on the basis of a documented, serious project (conditions apply). I handle these matters personally with my team at BDG Lawyers/Avocats. A solid combination of tax, corporate and immigration skills is decisive to the success of the project. Constant coordination is needed to see such a process through:
Now it is your turn.
The hardest part is often the decision itself; for everything else, the whole BDG Lawyers/Avocats team and I are beside you throughout this ambitious and wonderful project.

“A momentum we are especially pleased to see carried forward by the Alliance Économique France-Québec, whose ambition Rézoway and its partners BDG Lawyers/Avocats and Poudrette & Associée inc. fully share: bringing French and Québec businesses together in concrete terms, and turning connections into projects.”
“At Multicroissance we are proud to be supporting Groupe Échelle Internationale in its acquisition of SHQ Solutions in Québec. The transaction strengthens the Group’s presence in North America while creating strong synergies with its existing Canadian operations. Advisers: Adviso Partners (M&A), BDG Lawyers (legal counsel to the acquirer).”
“By bringing the expertise of Rézoway Conseil and BDG Lawyers/Avocats into our organization, Poudrette & Associée offers its clients solutions that carry them through decisive stages and secure their operations in Canada for the long term. Three complementary specialisms. One shared vision. One shared way of working.”
“Thank you to all the partners who helped bring this transaction to completion: Adviso Partners, BDG Lawyers/Avocats (Frédéric Burot), Mazars, together with Multicroissance and Sud Croissance. With SHQ Solutions now integrated, Groupe Échelle Internationale passes a new milestone, with pro forma revenue above €50m, and confirms its ambition to become a leading name in height safety in North America.”
“At CPA we look outward and draw inspiration from abroad. That was the purpose of the meetings held in Montréal last week by the executives training at CPA France. Thank you to Olivier Cuilleret, Laurent Satre, Ludovic Peronet, Alexandre Langlois and Frédéric Burot for sharing so generously. The fundamentals for a company director turn out to be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.”
“At Rézoway Insights in Nantes I had the chance to reconnect with a number of partners and friends, from Montréal in particular. It was a reminder of just how unavoidable the North American market remains, trade tensions notwithstanding. It also showed that starting in Canada allows for a sound acclimatization to the market before addressing the US.”
“Sylvain Perret and I, alongside our Canadian partners — Olivier Reffo, Benoît Poudrette and Frédéric Burot — are travelling across the country to meet French entrepreneurs and present what Rézoway has to offer. Because Rézoway exists for one reason: to help French companies successfully land and grow safely in North America.”
“Business succession is a live topic in Québec, and it made for a lively debate last night. The workshop was thoroughly hands-on thanks to the pointed contributions of Ludovic Peronet — Groupe agileDSS, Stéphane Girard — Repreneuriat Québec, Frédéric Burot — BDG Lawyers/Avocats, Natacha Mignon — Immétis and Pierre Bertrand — National Bank of Canada. (...)”
Alongside the Alliance Économique France-Québec and Groupe agileDSS, Frédéric Burot covered the legal acquisition process at a workshop bringing together more than forty participants — in person in Montréal and in Paris at the offices of National Bank of Canada, and online.
“A thoroughly comprehensive workshop, with a panel of experts on business acquisition in Québec. Thank you BDG Lawyers/Avocats.”
“Congratulations Frédéric Burot on your wonderful project. What a fine, fast-growing firm. You are a turnkey solution for your French clients in Québec and your Québec clients in France. Well done Ali Bennis for the personal support you give our members and clients.”
“What an honour, once again, to help businesses grow internationally with Fonds C. Alongside Managing Director Dominique Raiche and my colleague Rhita Lahlou, Director of Business Development, we presented a $10,000 cheque for the opening of a French subsidiary of the Canadian company BDG Lawyers/Avocats.
