Apex IT Solutions builds custom software, web and mobile applications, and DevOps infrastructure for Canadian businesses from Toronto to Vancouver — delivered remotely from our Rawalpindi, Pakistan engineering hub. Canadian companies face the same squeeze as their US neighbours: strong demand for engineering, expensive onshore talent. We offer the alternative — senior engineers, disciplined communication, overlap windows in your morning, and contracts with international jurisdiction.
What we build for Canadian companies
- Custom software and SaaS platforms — B2B products, internal tools, and customer portals on modern stacks (Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL)
- Web applications and company sites — from marketing sites to complex web apps
- Mobile apps — iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native
- DevOps and cloud engineering — CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and managed cloud on AWS, Azure, and GCP
- 3D modeling and animation — product visualization and marketing animation
Why Canadian companies work with a Pakistan-based team
Cost without the usual offshore trade-offs. Senior Pakistani engineering costs significantly less than comparable Canadian onshore teams. We've written honestly about the alternatives Canadian buyers usually weigh: Apex vs hiring in India and Apex vs Upwork freelancers.
Overlap, not absence. Pakistan is 9–10 hours ahead of Eastern Canada: our afternoon and evening are your morning. We hold standing overlap windows every working day, and the rest of our day runs while your team is offline — bugs filed at your 5 pm are often fixed before your 9 am.
Communication that survives the distance. Every engagement gets a named lead engineer, weekly demos, and written status updates. English is the working language of Pakistan's tech industry — specs, code review, and standups all happen in it.
Paperwork that protects you. Mutual NDA before any technical discussion, Singapore arbitration as the default jurisdiction for foreign clients, full IP assignment, and USD or CAD-denominated invoicing through Wise or Stripe. Details on our trust and security page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Canada?
No. Our headquarters and entire engineering team are in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and we are transparent about that. Work for Canadian clients is delivered remotely with weekly demos, written status updates, and milestone check-ins scheduled inside your business day.
How do you handle the time difference with Canada?
Pakistan is 9-10 hours ahead of Eastern Canada, which means our afternoon and evening overlap with your morning. We hold standing overlap windows every working day for calls, demos, and pairing, and the rest of our day runs while your team is offline — issues filed at your end of day are often resolved before your next morning.
Can we sign a contract that is enforceable outside Pakistan?
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before any technical discussion, and our default service agreement for foreign clients uses Singapore arbitration as the dispute jurisdiction. Work product and IP are assigned to you as set out in the agreement.
How do payments work from Canada?
USD or CAD-denominated invoicing via Wise or Stripe. Fixed-bid projects are typically 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery; retainers and dedicated-team engagements run on Net-30 monthly invoices.
How do your rates compare with Canadian development agencies?
We don't publish a fixed price list because every engagement is scoped individually, but senior Pakistan-based engineering generally costs significantly less than comparable Canadian onshore teams. See our pricing page for how fixed-scope, time-and-materials, and retainer engagements are structured, then request a quote for real numbers against your scope.
