How to choose
Start with cost. Employer social security is 9.6%, and the OECD tax and mandatory contributions wedge is 32.1%, so ask each provider to show a full monthly breakdown at your salary, not just the platform fee. Published EOR rates in Canada start from $99/mo and run to from $699/mo, but the fee is only one line. Check how the provider employs people locally, through its own entity or a partner, because that affects who holds compliance risk.
Then check the rules that shape a contract. Statutory hours are 40 hrs/wk, and annual leave and public holidays are set at 10 days each, so confirm the contract template matches them. Notice and severance are each 5 weeks on the World Bank measure, and maternity leave is 16 weeks with parental leave at 35 weeks, so ask how the provider prices these obligations and handles early exits. Collective bargaining coverage is 30.2%, so ask whether any sector agreement could apply to your role.
