Hire in Canada without your own local entity.

Use Plane as your employer of record and hire employees in Canada and 100+ other countries.

Opening your own entity is expensive and time-consuming.

When you open a legal entity in another country, you need to:

  • Pay setup fees
  • Open a local bank account
  • Find a local lawyer to set up contracts
  • Hire a local HR expert
  • Find a local finance specialist to run payroll
  • Calculate and pay local taxes
  • Deal with currency exchange

When Plane acts as your EOR, you don't need your own entity.

With Plane as your employer of record, you don’t need to hire a lawyer, HR expert, or finance specialist.


We provide localized contracts, run payroll, take care of taxes, and make sure you stay compliant. All in days, not months. Plus, we don’t charge any setup fees, just a low flat monthly fee.

How does an employer of record (EOR) work?

When you work with an EOR, they legally act as an employer for your employees. Global EORs have local entities set up in different countries, so you don’t need to set up the entities yourself if you’re hiring in those countries.

Plane enables you to hire employees in Canada and 100+ other countries, because we have entities set up around the world. As your Canadian EOR, we provide local contract templates and take care of payroll, benefits, and compliance for your Canadian employees.
