The opening was introduced to me by a US based recruitment agency, who obtained my information from an online job seeker site. The client is a Canadian company and the position is in Canada.

Incorporation isn't required by the company who has the opening but by the recruitment company and that is due to them being US based.

At least it makes a little more sense now as to why I'd need to do this. I feel it is somewhat ironic that it's a US company that has picked up my resume, if it had been a Canadian one then perhaps this issue would not have popped up.
It's less clear to me now. Would you be a sub-contractor to the US agency?

It makes no sense to me, cannot see why a recruitment agency would want you to incorporate, wherever they are based, all they are doing is introducing you to a client company. As said before it is a lot of work and expense, it even costs to close it down. As DBD said, who would you be employed by?
