Hire contractors with confidence using an agreement built for BC and CRA compliance. Includes proper classification language, IP protections, and clauses that prevent employee misclassification audits.
CRA-compliant independent contractor classification language
Intellectual property assignment and work-for-hire clauses

Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses (BC-specific enforceability)

Generic "Canadian" templates from LawDepot don't account for British Columbia's unique employment laws. Our contractor agreement includes:
Language that satisfies CRA's 6-factor test for contractor vs employee classification
BC-specific non-compete enforceability considerations under common law
WorkSafeBC coverage requirements for contractors in British Columbia
GST/HST collection and remittance responsibilities
BC Consumer Protection Act considerations for B2C contracts
Proper termination language to avoid constructive dismissal claims under BC law
Intellectual property assignment that complies with BC and federal copyright law
While no contract can guarantee CRA won't audit, our agreement includes language that satisfies CRA's 6-factor test for contractor classification (control, ownership of tools, chance of profit/loss, integration, etc.). We also include proper invoicing requirements and payment structures that support independent contractor status.
It depends. Some industries require contractors to have their own WorkSafeBC coverage or be added to your policy. Our agreement includes clauses requiring contractors to maintain proper insurance and indemnify you for workplace injuries, protecting you from liability.
Yes, for independent contractors. BC follows common law principles for non-competes (unlike Ontario's 2021 ban for employees). However, BC courts still require non-competes to be reasonable in scope, duration, and geography. Our template includes properly scoped language that BC courts are more likely to uphold.
Yes. If your contractor works in BC (even for an out-of-province company), BC law applies. Our contract ensures proper classification and includes remote work provisions.
LawDepot's contractor agreements don't account for BC-specific WorkSafeBC requirements or CRA's evolving classification tests. We update weekly to reflect new case law and CRA guidance. Plus, no subscription—pay once, own forever.
