The EOR Canada story
Your team in Canada,
employed by EOR Canada
About EOR Canada in brief: we arrange employment for people you hire in Canada. We hold the contract as employer of record and run payroll with the CRA; you pick the person and set their work. Each hire has a monthly fee from USD 560, and set-up is normally billed once.
A company abroad that wants one person in Toronto or Vancouver has a choice: incorporate and register for a CRA payroll account, EHT and WSIB, or hire through an employer already running Canadian payroll. We are the latter.
Our story
A gap to close
EOR Canada was set up for businesses that find the right person in Canada before they are ready to open a corporation there. Incorporating federally costs CAD 200 and can take a day, but the payroll account, provincial registrations and benefits that follow can take several more weeks.
We already run payroll across provinces as employer of record, so your hire starts on a proper Canadian contract while you decide on the longer term.

Ground rules
Six working principles
These principles shape every Canadian hire we arrange, from the first cost estimate to the final ROE.
We are the employer
We sign the employment contract as employer of record, and we explain plainly how each provincial rule applies.
One contact per client
A named account director handles your questions, from a salary change to a resignation, and knows your team’s history.
People who reply
Email reaches a person who works on Canadian payroll, and a booked call is there when an issue needs talking through.
Paperwork done properly
Contracts, TD1 forms, the ESA poster and every ROE are completed in full, even when a start date is close.
Headcount that can move
Add one person or several, in any province, and end an arrangement with the notice that the law and the contract require.
Pricing in plain sight
A monthly fee from USD 560 for each employee; salary and statutory employer costs pass through at cost.
Your support
Who supports staff in Canada?
Four groups share the work for every employee we place, each dealing with specific Canadian bodies and forms.
Account manager for you
Your first call for any question, who coordinates the payroll, HR and contract teams for you.
Payroll and CRA compliance
Runs pay with CPP, EI and tax at source, remits to the CRA, issues T4 slips and files each Record of Employment with Service Canada through ROE Web.
HR and support for staff
Answers staff on vacation, sick days and leave under the provincial ESA, and on EI maternity and parental benefits.
Onboarding and contracts
Prepares the written contract, collects the TD1 and provincial TD1, hands over Ontario’s ESA poster in the first 30 days, and gives Quebec staff documents in French.
Coverage
Where can your Canadian staff live?
Your employee can live and work in any Canadian province. Payroll tax follows the CRA’s province-of-employment rule, which for a remote worker means the establishment they report to. Quebec hires add QPP, QPIP and French-language obligations under Bill 96.
British Columbia and Alberta through Ontario and Quebec to the Atlantic provinces
