Choosing a Canadian EOR

Best EOR provider
in Canada, judged on the detail

The best EOR provider in Canada is the one that gets the provincial detail right, because most employment law here is set by each province. Three tests show competence quickly: can it run CPP2 on earnings between CAD 74,600 and CAD 85,000 in 2026, can it withhold tax for the correct province of employment, and can it explain why common-law reasonable notice often exceeds the ESA minimum? EOR Canada answers all three in writing before you sign.

One contact, by name

A named person, not a ticket.

When a manager wants to end someone’s employment in Ontario, you speak to one person. Mathieu, your account director, sets out the ESA notice owed and the common-law risk above it, then runs the final pay and ROE steps with the payroll team.

Eight questions that test a Canadian EOR

Ask each provider these before you sign, and expect answers with Canadian figures in them.

Who holds the licences?

For an Ontario hire, which licensed employer holds the contract, and where does it appear on the public registry?

Payroll precision

How do you handle CPP2 between CAD 74,600 and CAD 85,000, and the EI ceiling of CAD 68,900, when a salary passes them part way through 2026?

Joint liability cover

Ontario clients can be jointly liable for unpaid wages. What does your contract say about who pays if that happens?

Where data is held

Where are payslips, Social Insurance Numbers and bank details stored, who can read them, and how is that access limited and logged?

Provincial HR sense

How does a Quebec offer differ, from QPP and QPIP deductions to job postings and working documents in French under Bill 96?

Realistic start dates

How many working days sit between a signed offer and first payroll, and what could stretch that for a hire in Alberta?

Predictable cost

Is your monthly fee one flat figure, and which employer costs, such as EHT or WSIB premiums, pass through to my invoice at cost?

Paperwork you receive

Will I get copies of the written contract, the TD1 forms, each payroll register and the year-end T4 for every employee?

Prices are each vendor’s published EOR list price, read on its own pricing page on 25 Sep 2026. Ticks and crosses reflect only what those pages showed; a dash (–) marks a point the provider’s pricing page does not state. Several providers list lower starting prices than ours: RemoFirst from USD 199, Native Teams from USD 99, Multiplier from USD 459 billed annually (plus stated add-ons) and Pebl at $399. Rippling and G-P publish no EOR price. Our from USD 560 is about CAD 790.56 a month at ECB rates of 24 Sep 2026.

2026Canadian payroll changes

What moved in Canadian payroll this year

The lowest federal tax rate fell to 14% for 2026, from a blended 14.5% in 2025. CPP now covers earnings up to CAD 74,600, and CPP2 runs from there to CAD 85,000. EI is 1.63% for the employee on insurable earnings up to CAD 68,900, and Ontario’s WSIB ceiling rose to CAD 121,700. Ontario’s job-posting rules on pay ranges and AI screening began on 1 January, when the temporary help agency licence fee rose to CAD 1,500. Minimum wages rose to CAD 18.15 federally on 1 April and CAD 18.25 in British Columbia on 1 June; Ontario moves to CAD 17.95 on 1 October. We recheck each figure every January.

Comparing providers

Questions buyers ask us

Which company employs my Canadian hire?+
EOR Canada is the legal employer, acting as employer of record. It signs the employment contract, runs payroll and makes the CRA filings, while you direct the daily work. We manage the link between you and the employee, and we check how provincial rules apply to each role.
How is payroll run for a Canadian employee?+
We pay on our payroll calendar, deduct CPP (5.95% up to CAD 74,600 in 2026), CPP2, EI (1.63%) and income tax using the CRA’s T4127 formulas, and remit them to the CRA. You receive a payroll summary and one invoice. In Quebec, QPP and QPIP apply instead, and Revenu Québec collects provincial tax.
Pension plans?+
Every employee outside Quebec pays into the Canada Pension Plan, matched by the employer: 5.95% each on earnings from CAD 3,500 to CAD 74,600 in 2026, plus CPP2 at 4% up to CAD 85,000. Quebec uses QPP at 6.30%. A workplace pension on top is optional; ask us what we can offer.
What happens if an ex-employee disputes a dismissal?+
We, as legal employer, respond to the claim and keep you involved. In Ontario an ESA claim must be filed within 2 years, and the employee cannot pursue both an ESA claim and a court action on the same matter. Common-law reasonable notice can be far above the ESA minimums, so we review notice with you before any dismissal.
Where is employee data kept?+
Employee records sit in the payroll and HR systems used for Canadian payroll, with access limited to the people who run it and records passed only to the CRA and other bodies that require them. Ask us for the data-processing terms and the list of subprocessors before you sign, and we will send both.
How is the fee set?+
from USD 560 for each employee each month (about CAD 790.56, ECB, 24 Sep 2026), with CPP, EI, EHT and WSIB billed at cost. A one-off set-up fee is normally added; your quote states it.
Can we change contract terms later?+
Yes. Salary, hours, title and duties can change by written agreement between us, as employer, and the employee, and we prepare the paperwork with you. Changes that cut pay or duties need care, because a one-sided change may be argued to be a dismissal under common law. In Quebec, documents on working conditions must be given in French.
Where does support come from?+
Support comes from a named account director and a payroll team who specialise in Canadian employment and work on Canadian payroll every day. You reach them by email or a booked call, and they answer on questions from any province.
