Also canadian, when we incorporated in the states we did not have to get an ITIN and that is because we used what is called a "Resident Agent'. It is a good idea to have a resident agent...however, I still think an ITIN is not required because the shareholders of a US corporation do not have to be American and therefore you should be able to get a EIN number for the corporation. Furthermore, you are not opening any accounts in your name so to have an ITIN number is just another draconian measure by the IRS to tag you, if indeed you need it
