Remote Staffing for British Columbia Businesses
Managed remote staff on Pacific Time for Vancouver, Victoria, and Surrey companies. Built for BC's tech scene, natural resources operators, and property management groups.
Why British Columbia Businesses Are Going Remote
British Columbia has a high-cost, high-productivity economy centered on Metro Vancouver. Vancouver is Canada's third-largest tech cluster after Toronto-Waterloo and Montreal, with a strong gaming, effects, and SaaS scene (EA, Microsoft, Hootsuite, Clio, Slack's Vancouver office). It is also a significant natural resources, logistics, and film production center, and the Port of Vancouver is the largest in Canada. The challenge for BC operators is that Vancouver's housing market is among the least affordable in North America, per CMHC and Numbeo data, which has pushed baseline salary expectations up sharply across every role.
On top of that, BC employers pay EHT, WorkSafeBC premiums, CPP, and EI, plus mandatory BC vacation and stat holidays. The loaded cost of a Vancouver hire frequently runs 30 percent above the headline CAD salary. Teckas is used by BC SaaS operators to staff developers and QA, by natural resources and logistics operators for admin and documentation, and by Vancouver property management groups for leasing and tenant ops, all on Pacific Time.

How Working in British Columbia Pacific Time Works
BC runs on Pacific Time, the same as Seattle and San Francisco. India is 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead. A 9am to 6pm PT Vancouver shift is 9:30pm to 6:30am IST, which we staff as a dedicated full-time shift. Your teammate is live for your Vancouver stand-ups, not just a few overlap hours.
Compliance and Employment Notes
Teckas staff are employees of Teckas Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in India, not BC employees or Canadian contractors. BC Employment Standards Act, WorkSafeBC premiums, and EHT do not apply to the engagement. For regulated industries (finance, healthcare, film) we can sign NDAs, DPAs, and PIPEDA-aligned data handling commitments. Invoicing is standard USD; CAD available on request.
