Built for your jurisdiction

An EOR built for Canada balance sheets & data flows

Three things every Canada CFO, DPO, and Head of People asks before putting Indian employees on our payroll.

No permanent establishment risk

Your team member is employed by Wisemonk in India, so the CRA cannot deem your operations a PE in India and Indian tax authorities cannot deem your Canadian entity a PE either.

Global-grade service levels

Same SLA you would expect from a US-based provider: 24-hour response on payroll queries, 4-hour response on compliance flags, named CSM and named Indian payroll lead.

CAD in, INR payslip out

Invoice in Canadian dollars from your existing AP. We handle the FX, statutory deductions, and DTAA-treaty paperwork. Net pay lands in your team member's Indian bank account on the same day every month.

Questions from Canada

Will employing in India create a permanent establishment for our Canadian company?

No. Wisemonk is the legal employer in India. Your Canadian entity has no fixed place of business, no dependent agent, and no construction project in India, so the four PE tests in the Canada-India DTAA are not met. We provide an annual letter you can keep in your CRA file.

How does this work for Quebec-incorporated companies?

Same way. The CRA framework is federal. Quebec-specific items like CNESST, RQAP, and provincial tax credits stay on your Canadian payroll only. Your India team is fully outside Quebec scope.

What about SR&ED tax credits for work done by our Indian team?

Work performed by employees of Wisemonk in India does not qualify as Canadian SR&ED.

Can our India team travel to Canada for offsites?

Yes. We assist with the employment verification letter, salary slips, and tax filings the visa officer asks for. Most offsite trips clear in 4-6 weeks.

Still have a question?

Specific to companies headquartered in Canada. For cross-border basics, see the main page.
