Upwork bidding agency for freelancers and agencies in Canada.
You get a dedicated Upwork bidder for your account. We choose jobs using a targeting profile we agree with you, write each proposal to the client's brief and send you a weekly report of what went out and what happened.

Canadian freelancers share time zones with most of Upwork's American clients, so they don't have the timing problem that most of the world has. It also means they're up against American freelancers for the same jobs, and in that contest clear positioning counts for more than speed.
Canada covers several time zones, so a freelancer in Vancouver and one in Toronto see the same job at very different points in their day. A bidder who covers the feed from early Eastern time to late Pacific time closes that gap.
When clients start work, in Toronto time.
Toronto keeps the same hours as the US East Coast, where a large share of Upwork's clients post their jobs. You see new work as soon as it appears, and so does everyone else in North America. That makes it important to be one of the first proposals the client reads. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 9 hours ahead of Toronto.
| Client market | Their 9:00 am is | Their 5:00 pm is | For you that is |
|---|---|---|---|
| US East Coast (New York) | 9:00 am | 5:00 pm | your own working day |
| US West Coast (San Francisco) | 12:00 pm | 8:00 pm | the working day |
| United Kingdom (London) | 4:00 am | 12:00 pm | the night |
| Australia (east) (Sydney) | 6:00 pm (previous day) | 2:00 am | the evening |
Upwork bidders for every major city in Canada.
The cities are grouped by province. Each city page tells you what its freelancers are known for, how that changes the bid and when the main client markets start work in local time.
What a dedicated Upwork bidder does for you.
Picks the jobs first
We agree a written targeting profile with you. It covers categories, your lowest budget, client history and warning signs, and it decides which jobs are worth your Connects.
Covers the hours you can't
Someone watches the feed across the time zones your clients post in, so good jobs get an answer while they're still new.
Writes to the brief
Each proposal opens with the client's problem and the piece of your past work that's closest to it. We don't paste templates.
Shows you the record
We log every proposal, view, reply and interview and go through them with you each week. You see real counts.
Questions people ask us.
Do you work with freelancers and agencies in Canada?
Yes. We work remotely with freelancers and agencies across Canada, including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver and more. Our team works on Pakistan Standard Time, which is 9 hours ahead of Toronto.
Do you have an office in Canada?
No. Improvexus is based in Pakistan and works with clients in Canada remotely. We handle the targeting, the proposals and the weekly reports online. We'd sooner tell you that plainly than pretend to be around the corner.
Do you guarantee jobs?
No. The hiring decision is the client's and nobody can promise it. What we commit to is the work, which means the targeting, the proposals and a weekly record, and we show you what came of it.
