Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Employer of Record services

YES — This is 100% legal and widely practiced in Canada. Canadian employment law fully permits third-party employers to hire workers on behalf of foreign companies. We hire Canadian workers on behalf of U.S. businesses, which is completely legal as long as we do not recruit or employ U.S. workers inside the United States.

NO — That's the whole point! InfraDev acts as the employer of record. You don't need to form a Canadian corporation, register with the CRA, or set up payroll accounts. We handle all of that for you.

YES — We specialize in remote employment. Your Canadian employees work from wherever they are located in Canada, and you manage their day-to-day work remotely.

We do not provide immigration sponsorship (TN, H1B, etc.). We only offer Canadian-based employment for workers who are already legally authorized to work in Canada.

We focus on the employment and compliance side. You find the candidates you want to hire, and we facilitate the legal employment process. We are not a recruitment agency.

We handle all termination processes including Record of Employment (ROE) generation, final pay, and compliance with provincial labour laws regarding notice periods and severance.

Typically within 24-48 hours once we have all required documentation. The exact timeline depends on the completeness of the employee's information and any specific provincial requirements.

We can hire employees in all Canadian provinces and territories. We ensure compliance with provincial labour laws, workers' compensation (CNESST in Quebec), and all regional requirements.

Disclaimer

InfraDev hires employees in Canada and provides full Canadian labour compliance. We do not provide U.S. employment, immigration sponsorship, or legal tax advice. All services are provided in accordance with Canadian federal and provincial laws.
