Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Toronto?

Yes. Our Canadian headquarters is at 719-5863 Leslie Street, Suite 719, in North York, Toronto. Our leadership and project management team work from this office during Eastern Time business hours. Our engineering bench is in our Mirpur DOHS development center in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Do you do on-site work in the GTA?

Yes. We regularly do on-site kickoff workshops, executive briefings, stakeholder demos, and pen-test debriefs across the Greater Toronto Area — downtown Toronto, North York, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, and Brampton. For ongoing development we default to remote-async with weekly demos.

Can you bill in CAD?

Yes. UnlockLive IT Limited is incorporated in Ontario. We invoice in CAD or USD (your choice), handle GST/HST on Canadian invoices, and can issue T2200/T4A documentation for contractor engagements where applicable.

What is your typical project size?

Most engagements range from $25K CAD pilots through $500K+ multi-quarter platform builds. Our minimum pilot size is roughly two engineering weeks; below that we typically refer clients to freelance options that will serve them better.

How quickly can you start?

For standard engagements (Next.js, Python, AI agents, e-commerce) we can typically have a senior engineer assigned and a kickoff scheduled within 7-10 business days of contract signature. For specialized work (e.g. specific compliance frameworks or niche tech) it may take 2-3 weeks to staff appropriately.
