Hire developers for your Canadian team
Canada's tech talent shortage is acute — Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal all rank among the most competitive hiring markets in North America, with senior developer salaries reaching CAD 150,000+ and average time-to-hire stretching to 4-5 months. Geminate bypasses this bottleneck entirely with pre-vetted engineers available in 48 hours, strong timezone alignment from Atlantic to Pacific, and a B2B model that eliminates EI, CPP, and provincial employment obligations.
4-8 hours daily overlap (EST to PST)
From $3,000/month per developer
48-hour matching, 1-week trial
Why Canada companies choose Geminate
Coast-to-Coast Timezone Coverage
Toronto and Montreal (EST) get 6-8 hours overlap. Calgary and Edmonton (MST) get 5-7 hours. Vancouver (PST) gets 4-6 hours. We tailor schedules to your specific Canadian city, not just the country.
CAD 80,000-120,000 Annual Savings Per Developer
Senior developers in Canadian metros command CAD 120,000-160,000/year plus benefits and equity. Through Geminate, equivalent talent costs $3,000-5,000 USD/month — a savings that compounds significantly as your team grows.
Deep Multicultural Integration
Canada's diverse tech workforce makes cultural integration smooth. India is the largest source of tech immigration to Canada, meaning our developers share cultural context and communication norms with many Canadian engineering teams.

One dedicated developer, full-time, integrated into your team. Month-to-month with paid trial week.
A complete engineering pod with tech lead. 2-8 developers, project management included.

Questions from Canada companies
How does the B2B model simplify things for Canadian employers?
Our developers are employees of Geminate Solutions in India. You receive a straightforward B2B invoice — no EI premiums, no CPP contributions, no provincial employment standards obligations, no WSIB, and no T4 filings. Your finance team processes it as a vendor payment.
Do you work with Canadian government or regulated industries?
Yes. We work with Canadian fintech companies subject to OSFI guidelines and healthcare companies with PIPEDA requirements. Our developers implement appropriate security controls and data handling practices for regulated sectors.
Can we start with one developer and scale to a team?
Absolutely. Most Canadian clients start with a single developer, validate the fit during the paid trial week, and expand to 3-5 developers within 6 months as they see the impact on velocity and cost efficiency.
How do you handle timezone differences with Canadian teams?
Toronto (EST) gets 6-8 hours overlap. Calgary (MST) gets 5-7 hours. Vancouver (PST) gets 4-6 hours. We match developer schedules to your specific Canadian city for maximum collaboration.
What are the legal implications of hiring from India for Canadian companies?
Zero Canadian employment obligations. No EI premiums, no CPP contributions, no provincial employment standards, no WSIB, and no T4 filings. You receive a B2B vendor invoice. Compatible with SR&ED tax credit documentation.
How much can Canadian companies save with Geminate?
Senior developers in Canadian metros command CAD 120,000-160,000/year plus benefits and equity. Through Geminate, equivalent talent costs CAD 55,000-90,000/year. A 3-developer team saves CAD 240,000-360,000 annually.
Do you have references from other Canadian clients?
Yes. We work with Canadian companies across Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal in SaaS, fintech, and regulated industries. References from Canadian CTOs available during evaluation.
