Software Development in Canada

Development for Toronto, Vancouver and across Canada.

Canadian engagements look much like our US work with two differences that matter in practice: privacy expectations under PIPEDA and provincial law, and a frequent requirement that personal data stays in Canada. Both are straightforward when designed for and awkward when discovered late, so we settle them before building. The work spans internal business platforms, customer portals, eCommerce and AI features, for small and mid-sized businesses who want senior engineering without a Toronto rate card.

What working with us from Canada looks like

  • Overlap with Eastern hours in your morning; early calls for Pacific
  • Canadian-region hosting where personal data must remain in Canada
  • PIPEDA and provincial privacy expectations designed in, not retrofitted
  • Bilingual English and French interfaces where you serve Quebec
  • CAD or USD invoicing; no GST/HST charged by a non-resident supplier

The practical details

The questions that actually come up when the team is in one country and the client is in another.

Timezone

IST is 9.5 hours ahead of Eastern and 12.5 ahead of Pacific. Calls sit in your morning; the rest is written.

Data residency

Deployment to Canadian cloud regions where personal data must stay in Canada, in your own account.

Billing

CAD or USD by bank transfer or Wise. As a non-resident supplier we do not charge GST/HST; your accountant will recognise the treatment.

Working with us from Canada

Can our data stay in Canada?

Yes -- Canadian regions on AWS, Azure or GCP, in your own cloud account, so personal data does not leave the country. Where our team needs access for support we document precisely what that covers, which is what a privacy review will ask about.

Do you support French as well as English?

Yes, including bilingual interfaces and documents where you serve Quebec. Worth raising at the start: language support affects the data model and layout, not just the text.

How does PIPEDA affect what you build?

Mostly in consent, retention and access. We record what consent was given and when, implement retention and deletion rather than leaving data to accumulate, and build the means for individuals to see and correct their information. Accountability stays with you; we make it practical to meet.

Start with a conversation, not a quote

Tell us what the problem is and we will come back with what we think the real scope is — including where we think you need less than you asked for.
