It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Canada. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January- December 2010). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTINGACCOUNTSBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEBTORDEBTSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDEPRECIATIONDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FILINGELECTRONIC FORMATENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEQUIPMENTFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHOLDINGIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINSURANCE PREMIUMINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSLAND TITLESLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMARKET VALUEMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADOVERHEAD COSTSPAYROLLPENSIONPERSONAL ASSETSPHONE CONNECTIONPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTERED DOCUMENTSREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION SYSTEMREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGISTRY OFFICEREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTSRETAIL SALESRETURNRETURNSSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSEARCHESSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSELLINGSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX OBLIGATIONSTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTECHNICAL ISSUESTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETIME FRAMETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27206
