Success Stories

Technology Startup Establishment

Challenge

A group of software developers needed to establish a Canadian corporation for their SaaS platform. They required guidance on structure selection, intellectual property protection, and federal versus provincial incorporation decisions.

Solution

We advised on federal incorporation to facilitate future expansion across provinces. Documentation protected founding IP assignments and established vesting schedules. The process included business number registration and tax account setup.

Results

Corporation established within 18 days. The founders secured seed funding two months later, with investors appreciating the proper governance foundation. The company now employs 12 staff across Canada.

"Stonegate's structure guidance proved valuable as we grew. The incorporation framework they established accommodated our expansion without requiring fundamental changes." - Lead Founder

International Student Visa Application

Challenge

An applicant from Southeast Asia faced study permit denial due to insufficient demonstration of ties to home country. Previous application lacked proper financial documentation and study plan justification.

Solution

We prepared comprehensive reapplication addressing initial refusal reasons. Enhanced financial documentation included family support letters with bank statements. Study plan connected program choice to career objectives in applicant's home country.

Results

Second application approved after four months processing. Student successfully completed engineering program and subsequently obtained post-graduation work permit through separate application process.

"The detailed approach to my second application made the difference. They helped me understand what immigration officers needed to see." - Applicant

Commercial Property Acquisition

Challenge

A foreign investor sought commercial property in Toronto for business operations. Transaction involved complex financing, provincial foreign buyer requirements, and tenant lease transfers.

Solution

We coordinated title review revealing easement complications requiring negotiation. Property condition assessment identified required repairs addressed in purchase price adjustments. Financing documentation handled mortgage registration with lender satisfaction.

Results

Transaction closed within 45 days despite complications. Foreign buyer tax obligations properly addressed. Tenant leases transferred successfully with all parties satisfied regarding terms.
