@samira2324 Yes, you can pay yourself dividends and salary. Note that the first $40,000 of dividends are tax-free if you have no other source of income. There are benefits to receiving a small salary and the remainder in dividends. For example, salary increases your RRSP room, increases your pensionable earnings, and allows for deductions such as child care expenses and automobile costs, which dividends do not.
