.NET Development in Canada

We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in Canada. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in CAD.

Working hours

Our day ends at 07:30 in Canada (08:30 on summer time), before yours begins, so we work asynchronously: written updates land overnight and are waiting when you start.

Quoted in CAD

Quotes exclude the 5% federal GST in Canada, shown separately on the invoice.

Data protection

Work for this market is scoped against PIPEDA, and provincial privacy law where it applies, agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Written scope

Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed CAD quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.

About .NET Development

We take on .NET builds as a senior engineering service: ASP.NET Core web apps and Web APIs, enterprise backends, and moving legacy .NET Framework code onto a modern, cross-platform stack. It is a newer service line for us, so we will say so plainly. You get senior engineers, a written scope, and a flat quote, and we lean on the API design, testing, CI, and migration work that carries straight over from the rest of what we build.

What the engagement includes

  • You already run on Microsoft: SQL Server, Azure, Active Directory, or a team that standardizes on C#. .NET fits that estate with far less friction than bolting on a different runtime.
  • You need a fast, strongly typed backend for high-throughput APIs. ASP.NET Core on Kestrel is genuinely quick, and static typing catches a whole class of bugs before they reach production.
  • You are modernizing an old .NET Framework or WebForms app and want to stay in the same language and hiring pool instead of rewriting in something unfamiliar to your team.
  • Your team hires C# developers and will own the code after us. Handing a Node or Laravel app to a .NET team, or the reverse, is a real long-term cost worth avoiding.
  • If none of that is true and you are starting fresh with no Microsoft ties, we will often steer you to Node or Laravel instead, the stacks we run deepest in. Saying that costs us the .NET brief and saves you money, which is the trade we would rather make.

How we work with Canadian clients

Two things shape Canadian projects more than anything technical. The first is language: if you serve Quebec, French is a legal requirement rather than a nice addition, and the rules tightened considerably under Bill 96. The French version has to be available on equal terms with the English one, which is a design constraint from the first wireframe rather than a translation task at the end.

The second is anti-spam law. CASL is stricter than most teams expect, and the penalties are real. Consent has to be express or clearly implied, records of it have to be kept, and every commercial message needs a working unsubscribe and accurate sender identification. We build those into the product rather than leaving them to whoever configures the mailing tool later, because that is where the exposure usually sits.

Questions Canadian clients ask

We serve Quebec. What does the French requirement actually mean?

In practice, the French version cannot be an afterthought. It has to be available on terms at least as favourable as the English, which affects navigation, forms, error messages, transactional email, and support content rather than just marketing pages. We plan for two languages at wireframe stage, because French copy typically runs longer than English and a layout built for one will break on the other. Translation is done by a French speaker rather than machine output.

How do you handle CASL for email and notifications?

As a product requirement, not a setting. That means capturing and storing proof of consent with a timestamp and source, distinguishing express from implied consent along with when implied consent expires, an unsubscribe that works in every message and takes effect quickly, and accurate sender identification. Transactional messages are treated separately from commercial ones in the code, because conflating them is the most common way teams end up sending something they should not have.

GST, HST, or PST? Which applies to your invoices?

We are outside Canada, so our services are generally not subject to Canadian sales tax on our invoice, and self-assessment rules may apply depending on your province and registration status. Because the provincial position varies considerably, we would rather your accountant confirms the treatment before the first invoice than reconcile it afterwards. We quote in Canadian dollars and hold the figure for the project.

You are many time zones away. How does that work day to day?

Honestly, with a written-first working style. Our day ends before yours starts even in the east, and overnight in the west, so there is no live overlap to schedule around and we do not pretend otherwise. Work is handed over in writing at the end of our day, which lands as your morning, and questions that would block us are flagged before we stop rather than discovered overnight. One scheduled call a week in your morning covers what genuinely needs a conversation.

.NET Development: common questions

Do you have .NET case studies?

Not a long one, and we will not pretend otherwise. .NET is a service line we added deliberately. Our shipped work is mostly Next.js, React, Node.js, Laravel, and Flutter across 70+ projects since 2021. What transfers directly to .NET is the part that actually decides a backend: API design, database migrations, testing, CI, and moving legacy systems onto modern stacks. We staff .NET work with senior engineers and price it against a written scope.

What version of .NET do you build on?

Current .NET, which is .NET 8, the long-term-support release, with ASP.NET Core for web apps and APIs and Entity Framework Core for data. It is cross-platform, so it runs on Linux and in containers, not only Windows. If you are on an older .NET Framework 4.x app, we plan a path onto .NET 8 rather than leaving you on a runtime that is winding down.

Can you migrate our old .NET Framework or WebForms app?

Yes, and we do it incrementally so the business keeps running. We audit the existing code, wrap clean API boundaries around it, then move features onto ASP.NET Core one slice at a time, with tests around each, before switching the old path off. A big-bang rewrite that freezes the app for months is how these go wrong, so we avoid it by design.

Should we pick .NET or Node and Laravel for a new backend?

If you already run on Microsoft, SQL Server, or Azure, or your team hires C# developers, .NET is the low-friction choice and we will build it. If you are starting fresh with no Microsoft ties, we will often point you to Node or Laravel, the stacks we run deepest in, because the honest answer serves you better than winning the .NET brief. We talk it through before you commit to either.

Who works on my .NET project?

Senior engineers, directly. We are a small team out of Noida: founder and lead developer Ravi Rai plus a project manager, a designer, and an SEO specialist. You talk to the people writing the code, there is no offshore handoff, and nobody is swapped for a junior after the sale.
