Staff augmentation for Canadian companies: hire remote developers who join your team
We have no office in Canada. We source engineers for your roles, you choose who joins, and they work remotely in your team, your tools and your sprint rhythm. Before anyone sees personal information, we deal with the two privacy rules Canadian teams ask about first.
- Toronto, Montreal
- 2 hours of overlap on a standard day
- Calgary
- No overlap on standard hours, 1 hour in some weeks
- Vancouver
- No overlap on standard hours
- Office
- None in Canada; core team in Alexandria
Privacy first, then the sprint.
Engagement models and the hiring process- 01
Check for Quebec users
If the data includes personal information collected in Quebec, Law 25 asks you to complete a privacy impact assessment before it is communicated outside Quebec. We give you what the assessment needs: where we work, who has access and how the data is protected.

Update your privacy notice
The Privacy Commissioner’s guidelines ask you to tell people their information may be processed in another country. You stay accountable for it, and the contract has to give it comparable protection.
OPC guidelines (opens in a new tab) - 03
Sign and set up access
NDA, master agreement and statement of work, then named accounts in your tools. Test data by default.

Join the sprint
For Eastern time, stand-ups sit between 09:00 and 11:00. For Pacific teams, written handovers carry the day.
Toronto and Montreal share two hours with us. Vancouver shares none.
On a standard day in both places, only Eastern Canada overlaps with Alexandria. Further west, work runs on written handovers in your tracker and chat.

Computed from a 09:00 to 18:00 day in both places. British Columbia has stayed on UTC−7 since 8 March 2026, so its gap to Alexandria only changes when Egypt changes its clocks.

Office, Quebec data, shared hours and sales tax.
Do you have an office or entity in Canada?
No. We have no Canadian office or entity. Engineers are employed by Flojics and work remotely. Our core team is in Alexandria, Egypt; for people we recruit for you, location is part of the brief.
Do we need a privacy impact assessment for Quebec data?
If the data includes personal information collected in Quebec, Law 25 asks you to complete one before that information is communicated outside Quebec. We give you what it needs: where we work, who has access and how the data is protected.
Should we update our privacy notice?
Yes. The Privacy Commissioner’s guidelines ask you to tell people their information may be processed in another country. You stay accountable for it, and the contract has to give it comparable protection.
Which Canadian cities share working hours with your team?
Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa share 2 hours on a standard day. Calgary shares none on standard hours and 1 hour in some weeks, and Vancouver shares none, so western teams work through written handovers.
Will the engineers work with real customer data?
Test data is the default. Named accounts in your tools come after the NDA, master agreement and statement of work are signed.
How does GST/HST apply?
Ask your accountant how GST/HST applies to services bought from a supplier outside Canada. We charge one monthly fee per engineer, with the currency and invoicing schedule set in your proposal.
