Mobile App 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 Mobile App Development
We build cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, wire up the backend, push, and offline sync, and hand them to the App Store and Play Console for you. A senior team in Noida, flat quotes, and a written scope before any code.
What the engagement includes
- Senior engineers on your app from day one. No junior offshore team behind an account manager, no handoff after you sign.
- Direct access to the people writing the code. You talk to the developer, not a layer that relays your questions and loses half of them.
- Both app stores handled end to end, including signing, listings, and the review process, so you are not learning Play Console under deadline.
- Flat INR quotes against a written scope, turned around in 24 hours. We can invoice in USD to a foreign parent entity if you need that.
- 70 plus projects shipped for clients in India, the USA, Canada, the UK, and the UAE, so this is not our first launch.
- Honest scoping. If you need one app and not three, or a web app instead of a native one, we will tell you before you spend.
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.
Jai Shri Balaji Store
A customer app on iOS and Android and a driver app on Android, both Flutter, shipped together on one backend, with the store itself run from a web admin rather than a third app it did not need.

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.
Mobile App Development: common questions
Flutter or React Native, which one should I pick?
Flutter if your UI is custom and you want it to look and behave identically on iOS and Android from one codebase; it is what we used for both Jai Shri Balaji apps. React Native if you already have a React web team or depend on JavaScript libraries, because the skills and some code transfer. For most first apps we lean Flutter. On our call we pick based on your team and your UI, not a house preference.
Do you build native iOS and Android, or only cross-platform?
We build cross-platform in Flutter or React Native, which compile to real native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. For the vast majority of business apps that is the right call: one team, one codebase, both platforms, lower cost. We are not the right studio if you specifically need fully separate Swift and Kotlin native codebases or a heavy native game engine.
Do you handle App Store and Play Console submission?
Yes, end to end. That includes developer account setup if you do not have one, app signing, store listings, screenshots, privacy and data-safety declarations, and the review back-and-forth with Apple and Google. First submissions often get bounced for small reasons, and we handle that so your launch does not slip.
How much does a mobile app cost?
A flat quote against a written scope, never an hourly meter. Send us the brief, we write the scope, and you get back one flat INR number, with the exact figure inside 24 hours. If you have a foreign parent company, we can invoice that entity in USD. What moves the number is how many screens, integrations, and platforms you actually need, not a clock.
How long does it take to build an app?
It depends on the build, so the real timeline goes in the written scope rather than a stock number here. We work in short sprints with a working build at the end of each, so you see progress the whole way instead of waiting months for a big reveal. The backend and the integrations, not the number of screens, are what move a timeline most.
