Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring employees in Canada, Employer of Record, payroll, compliance, and timelines.

In many cases you can onboard in as little as 24–48 hours after commercial terms are set. We handle contracts, payroll setup, and compliance so your hire can start without you forming a Canadian entity.

An Employer of Record is the legal employer on paper in Canada. InfraDev employs your chosen Canadian worker, runs payroll, and meets employment obligations. Your company does not need to incorporate in Canada to hire through our EOR model.

We manage Canadian payroll, source deductions, remittances to the CRA, employment contracts, and core HR administration aligned with federal and provincial rules. You direct day-to-day work and performance.

Pricing typically combines pass-through employment costs (salary, employer charges) and a transparent management fee. We walk you through the model on a call so you can budget with confidence.

Contractors can be appropriate for true independent engagements. If someone is integrated into your team long term, employee status is often the safer path. InfraDev helps you employ people as W2-equivalent Canadian employees under our EOR when that is the right fit.

We maintain employment records, run compliant payroll cycles, and apply federal and provincial employment standards to the relationship. You get a single partner accountable for the employment layer in Canada.

Yes. Third-party employment is a recognized model in Canada when structured correctly. InfraDev employs Canadian workers on behalf of foreign clients in line with applicable law. We do not recruit or employ workers inside the United States.

We support professional and technical roles across Canada, including software, cloud, data, operations, and consulting-style positions. Remote employment across provinces is standard.
