Pre-screened engineers, marketers, designers and operators across Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile. Same workday as Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. PIPEDA and CASL compliant from day one.
Canada's tech wage compression in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal forces a choice — pay Bay Area salaries in CAD, or look offshore to APAC and lose four hours of overlap per day. LatAm closes that gap.
Mexico City matches Calgary and Edmonton exactly (Central time). Colombia and Peru sit in Eastern time year-round. Argentina overlaps 6–8 productive hours with Toronto and Montreal. None of this works with India or the Philippines.
A Senior Software Engineer in Toronto runs CAD $145–185K base. The same seniority in Buenos Aires costs USD $65–85K all-in including EOR fees. Net saving after FX and overhead: 50–55%.
All hiring data flows handled under PIPEDA. Outreach and onboarding emails meet CASL's express consent + identification requirements. WSIB and provincial workers' comp handled through Canadian-registered EOR partners when applicable.
Engagements structured to avoid Permanent Establishment exposure for the Canadian entity. We use compliant EOR setups in MX, AR, CO, CL — meaning your CFO doesn't inherit a Mexican or Argentine corporate tax filing obligation.
Talent receives USD by default (market standard in LatAm). If your CFO prefers to lock the rate, we settle invoices in CAD and absorb the FX spread. Either way, your accounting team sees one clean monthly line.
Every candidate completes a 4-stage screen — technical assessment, English fluency (Canadian-comfortable accents), portfolio deep-dive, and cultural fit with North American engineering teams. About 4% of applicants make our shortlist.
Average annual saving — Senior Engineer in Bogotá or Buenos Aires vs Toronto market rate. Includes EOR fee, benefits, employer taxes and FX hedging.
A 5-engineer LatAm team frees ~CAD $650K/year — enough to fund a Series A round extension, a full marketing programme, or a senior product hire in Toronto.
Or said the other way: hire the same headcount, ship 2x faster, run lean.
