Canada EOR

Our second market, opened in 2023. Provincial employment standards, CRA payroll, and the Canada Pension Plan / Employment Insurance contributions all run through our entity, not a partner.

  • Provincial workers' compensation (WSIB, WorkSafeBC, CNESST, and the other provincial boards)
  • Quebec's mandatory RAMQ-equivalent prescription drug coverage
  • Group benefits package (extended health, dental, life and AD&D)
  • Statutory holidays and provincial paid leaves
  • Quebec: CNESST standards, T4 and RL-1 reporting, and French-language employment documents
Country basics

The questions buyers ask in the first call.

Probation
Up to 3 months typical; varies by province
Notice period
Statutory minimums by tenure, plus reasonable notice (art. 2091 CCQ in Quebec), which usually runs longer
Severance
Statutory in some provinces (e.g., Ontario for 5+ years); common-law severance often applies on top
Pay cadence
Bi-weekly default; semi-monthly common in Quebec
Vacation
2 weeks of time away from work, and a 4% vacation pay premium; 3 weeks after 5 years in most provinces, 3 years in Quebec
Statutory holidays
6 to 12 depending on province; Quebec 8, Ontario 9, BC 11
Paid sick leave
10 days federally, 5 in BC, 2 in Quebec; job-protected but unpaid in most other provinces
Where buyers get caught out

Things we handle that other EORs miss.

  • 01
    Common-law reasonable notice often exceeds statutory minimums; underestimating severance is a common error for U.S.-headquartered companies.
  • 02
    Quebec's French-language rules apply from the first employee, not above a headcount. Contracts, offers and job postings must be in French.
  • 03
    Provincial health plans are residency-based, so there is no employer role. Quebec's RAMQ drug regime is the exception: a private plan must meet the RAMQ minimum, and enrolment is mandatory.
  • 04
    Independent-contractor classification is tested harder in Canada than in the U.S., and CRA can assess the payer for both halves of CPP and EI. For many engagements the safe path is T4 employment from day one.
  • 05
    Banking, telecom, air, rail and interprovincial transport fall under the federal Canada Labour Code, not provincial standards. We settle jurisdiction before we paper the engagement.
