Moving My Tech Startup North What’s the Real Deal with SR&ED?

Postby fikij » Sat Mar 28, 2026 8:51 pm

Hi everyone,

I’m currently based in Buffalo, but I’m seriously considering relocating my software development team to the Toronto tech hub by the end of 2026. I’ve heard incredible things about the research and development tax incentives, but I’m struggling to find a clear roadmap for a non-resident business setup in canada without getting bogged down in legal jargon.

Is it true that the SR&ED credits are as life-changing for startups as people say, or is the audit process a complete nightmare? I’m looking for a mentor who has navigated the specific banking requirements for a foreign-owned business setup in canada.

Thanks in advance.
