International Payroll

We can help a foreign company establish Canadian payroll from the initial CRA registration through ongoing employee payments and reporting. Our international payroll services cover CRA payroll account registration, employer setup, employee onboarding, and the correct setup of income tax, CPP, and EI deductions. Once everything is in place, we can process payroll on an ongoing basis, handle required CRA remittances, maintain payroll records, and prepare year-end documentation. We work with foreign and non-resident businesses hiring employees in Canada, so companies do not need an internal Canadian payroll team to manage these responsibilities. Our focus remains specifically on payroll for employees working in Canada.

Yes, we can prepare and electronically file T4 slips for Canadian employees as part of our year-end payroll support. Our international payroll services include maintaining the payroll records needed throughout the year so that employee earnings, deductions, and other applicable payroll information are available for T4 preparation. At year-end, we prepare the required slips and handle the related CRA filing for the Canadian employees we support. This means foreign employers can keep regular payroll processing and year-end reporting with the same Canadian provider. We also manage ongoing CRA remittances and payroll records, helping keep the information used for year-end reporting organized throughout the year.

Yes, we can help foreign employers organize Canadian payroll onboarding efficiently once the required employer and employee information is available. With our international payroll services, we assist with CRA payroll account registration, employer setup, employee onboarding, and the payroll details needed to calculate income tax, CPP, and EI correctly. If a company is hiring its first employee in Canada, we can also help establish the payroll structure before regular processing begins. Actual setup timing can depend on factors such as CRA registration and how quickly the necessary information is provided, so we avoid promising an unrealistic start date. Our role is to keep the payroll setup moving and properly organized.

Yes, we can manage Canadian payroll for employees working in different provinces through one payroll service. Our international payroll services support foreign businesses with employees located across Canada, including the federal and applicable provincial payroll requirements associated with their locations. We can manage employee setup, payroll calculations, statutory deductions, CRA remittances, payroll records, and year-end reporting within the same ongoing payroll process. This is useful for international businesses building a distributed Canadian team because they do not have to arrange a separate payroll provider each time they hire in another province. We review the employee’s location and apply the appropriate Canadian payroll requirements when setting up and processing payroll.

Yes, our international payroll offering is suitable for a foreign company hiring just one employee in Canada. A business does not need a large Canadian workforce to benefit from international payroll services, since payroll obligations can begin with the first employee. We can help register the employer for a CRA payroll account, set up the Canadian employee, calculate required deductions, process recurring payroll, remit amounts to the CRA, and prepare year-end T4 reporting. This allows a foreign company to establish a structured Canadian payroll process without building an internal payroll function for a single hire. If the Canadian team grows later, the same service can scale with additional employees.
