Questions
Common questions
Do you work with businesses in Toronto?
Yes, remotely from Albania. Six hours behind Albania — a workable but narrow overlap. Working-hour overlap is the practical thing to check before scoping anything time-sensitive.
Which sectors in Toronto do you work with?
Financial services and banking, technology and artificial intelligence research, film and television production, real estate, and healthcare.
What do people get wrong about marketing in Toronto?
Toronto is English-language, but a national Canadian campaign triggers Quebec’s French-language obligations — that is a legal requirement, not a translation nicety.
What advertising rules apply in Toronto?
Advertising rules, data protection and invoicing are national rather than local. The Competition Act governs misleading advertising with both civil and criminal tracks, enforced by the Competition Bureau. Ad Standards Canada administers the self-regulatory Canadian Code of Advertising Standards and has published influencer disclosure guidance. Quebec additionally restricts advertising directed at children under thirteen — among the strictest such rules anywhere.
How does invoicing work for a Toronto client?
No VAT as such; GST or HST applies federally with provincial variations, and cross-border professional services from a non-resident supplier are generally outside the Canadian sales tax net, though the client’s position governs. Invoicing is in Canadian dollars, and payment practice is prompt by international standards.
