Your best option is to leave Canada and return again at some future date.

The fact you have a registered corporation in Canada doesn't allow you to remain here long term as a business visitor. If anything, it may raise concerns you are working for that business in Canada without authorization.

Again, best to do what you've been told and leave.

Thanks Scylla.
Do you know how much time I am allowed to stay after such a refusal - so I can arrange my departure? It been difficult or very expensive to get flights.

Thanks.

You should leave within 30 days of receiving the refusal if you want to avoid having issues returning in the future.
