How this provider compares

Final global workbook scores. How we score ↗

3.3/5

Consider it for

Companies starting a small Canadian team and considering an eventual local subsidiary.

Main trade-off

Website cancellation and liability clauses are not verified EOR terms; local termination, IP, transfer charges and entitlement preservation remain unresolved.

Country fit & local delivery

Thirdsail Inc. publishes a Toronto address and says it owns Canadian entities through which it legally employs client workers. It combines EOR with entity formation and management, positioning EOR for small teams and subsidiaries for larger operations. Current primary pages confirm Canada; a SourceForge Canada-and-USA description does not establish current US EOR availability. No individual employer registration or visa eligibility was verified.

Costs, deposits & currency

Primary EOR FAQ starts at $350 per employee/month without explicitly identifying the dollar currency. No public EOR setup/extra-fee schedule, FX spread, deposit, reserve or refund formula was found. December 2021 website terms allow taxes and price changes, but should not be substituted for an operative EOR MSA.
