Software Development Company for Canada
Senior development capacity for Canadian companies — priced like a startup can afford it, engineered like an enterprise expects.
Canada’s tech hubs — Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal — now compete with US salaries while Canadian budgets stay Canadian: agencies quote C$100–180 per hour and the best local engineers keep getting poached south. StellarCode gives Canadian startups and SMEs senior engineering at C$35–65 per hour equivalent, with the same overnight-delivery rhythm our US clients use: brief us in your afternoon, review completed work next morning.
We build for Canadian requirements as a matter of course — PIPEDA-aligned privacy architecture (and Quebec’s Law 25 where it applies), bilingual English/French interfaces done properly, Canadian data residency in Montreal and Toronto cloud regions, and GST/HST-correct billing flows. Contracts, IP assignment and NDAs are structured for Canadian enforceability.
Why businesses in Canada choose StellarCode
Relief from US-level rates
C$35–65/hour against C$100–180/hour locally — typically 55–70% savings on identical scope, fixed-quoted, which is often the difference between funding the product and shelving it.
The overnight cycle
9.5–10.5 hours ahead of Eastern Canada: we hold live overlap with your mornings for standups, then build through your night. Toronto briefs from Tuesday afternoon come back built Wednesday morning.
Bilingual EN/FR capability
English/French products built with real i18n architecture — Quebec French conventions, Law 25 consent mechanics, and content workflows that keep both languages honest.
Canadian data residency
PIPEDA-aligned architecture with hosting in Canadian cloud regions (Montreal, Toronto) when residency matters — a clean privacy story for your enterprise customers and public-sector-adjacent work.
What the same project costs
| Senior development rate | Hourly range |
|---|---|
| Typical Canadian agency rate | C$100 – C$180 / hour |
| StellarCode | C$35 – C$65 / hour |
Senior engineers, morning overlap with Eastern Canada, bilingual capability and fixed quotes — typically 55–70% below Canadian agency pricing.
Working hours that work
Sri Lanka is UTC+5:30 — 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of Eastern Canada
We hold live overlap with Canadian mornings (8–11 AM ET = 5:30–8:30 PM our time) for standups and demos, and Pacific-time calls in your morning. The offset runs as an overnight build cycle: afternoon briefs return as finished work by your next morning.
Compliance & data protection
We build to PIPEDA and, for Quebec-facing products, Law 25: consent and purpose-limitation flows, breach-notification-ready logging, privacy-impact-assessment support, and Canadian data residency in Montreal/Toronto regions where required. Billing handles GST/HST/QST correctly, and bilingual English/French delivery includes proper Quebec French, not machine-translated approximations.

Working with StellarCode from Canada — FAQ
Can you keep our data hosted in Canada?
Yes — AWS, Google Cloud and Azure all operate Canadian regions (Montreal, Toronto), and we host Canadian clients’ production data there whenever PIPEDA expectations, provincial rules or enterprise customers require it. The privacy architecture — consent, retention, breach readiness — is designed alongside, so residency is part of a coherent story rather than a checkbox.
Do you build bilingual English/French applications?
Yes, properly: internationalisation architecture from day one, Quebec French handled by conventions rather than guesswork, Law 25-compliant consent mechanics for Quebec users, and content workflows that prevent the classic drift where the French version quietly falls behind the English one.
How do you collaborate across the time difference with Canada?
The same proven pattern as our US clients: guaranteed live overlap with your morning (8–11 AM Eastern) for standups, demos and decisions, async collaboration through Slack, Loom and GitHub the rest of the day, and the offset working as an overnight factory — work briefed in your afternoon is ready for review when you log in the next morning.
What does a typical project cost for a Canadian client?
Most Canadian engagements land between C$10,000 and C$70,000 depending on scope — MVPs at the lower end, multi-role SaaS platforms and custom systems at the upper. Equivalent local quotes typically run 2.5–3× higher. Every project is fixed-quote after a free consultation, in CAD if you prefer, so there is no exchange-rate ambush mid-project.
