“PEO Canada is a great choice for new companies opening a business in Canada. Their knowledge of Canadian employment law and payroll regulations is of immense help for someone opening a branch of a foreign company in Canada. The availability of PEO employees to support and answer questions is fantastic.” – Peter F.
