For mid-size companies
Build a Canadian team without a Canadian entity
Mid-size companies usually come to us when a few Canadian hires become a team. InfraDev employs your Canadian staff, runs their payroll, and keeps employment compliant, while your HR team keeps one process and one invoice.
What mid-size companies usually need
A Canadian team that grows a few roles at a time, an HR team that already has its processes, and finance that wants predictable costs.
-
From a few hires to a team
Add Canadian hires as you need them. Each one goes through the same contract, onboarding, and payroll process, typically within 24–48 hours of terms being agreed.
-
Fits the HR process you already have
Your managers keep performance, policies, and day-to-day direction. We handle Canadian employment administration and send one monthly invoice your finance team can reconcile.
-
Contractors who now work like employees
Long-term Canadian contractors who work like staff carry misclassification risk. We can employ them through our EOR without changing their day-to-day work.
-
IP and data handled carefully
Employment agreements assign work product and inventions to your company, and employee records are protected under our ISO/IEC 27001-certified information security management system.
How InfraDev supports mid-size teams
Use one service or combine them across roles.
-

We employ the person you choose in Canada and run payroll, remittances, and employment compliance.
-
Consulting management
We hold the consulting contract and handle invoicing, GST/HST, and T4A reporting for contractor-style work.
-
Host your hire
A desk in our Beaconsfield, Québec office, with access limited to our location when your security policy requires it.
EOR or your own Canadian company?
An employer of record avoids the fixed cost of incorporation, payroll accounts, and annual filings while your Canadian headcount is small. As the team grows, your own entity can become cheaper, and we'll say so. See the costs and break-even headcount.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from mid-size companies hiring in Canada.
Can InfraDev support a growing Canadian team, not just one hire?
Yes. Each new hire follows the same contract, onboarding, and payroll process, typically within 24–48 hours once terms are agreed, and every employee appears on the same monthly invoice.
Can mid-size companies run payroll in-house for Canadian teams?
Running payroll in-house for a Canadian workforce is possible but costly: you'd need to establish an entity in Canada, register with the CRA, and keep up with provincial labour law. Partnering with an employer of record like InfraDev is often the most efficient solution—you hire legally in Canada without establishing a local entity, and we handle payroll, taxes, and compliance.
Can we convert our Canadian contractors into employees?
Yes. If long-term contractors work like employees, converting them reduces misclassification risk. InfraDev can employ them through our employer of record, usually without changing their day-to-day work. See employee vs contractor.
What questions should a mid-size company ask before choosing an EOR?
Ask: Do they own their Canadian entity or rely on third parties? How do they handle compliance with Canadian regulations? What protections do they provide for IP and invention rights? How do they ensure security for employee data? Can they support rapid growth and new hires quickly? Are there hidden fees? Do they provide dedicated support for the Canadian market?
Can our Canadian staff work from an office?
Yes. InfraDev has office space in Beaconsfield, Québec, available up to five days a week, and access to systems or data can be limited to our office where your security requirements call for it. See Host your hire.
