Quebec has unique legal considerations for freelance agreements. The province follows a civil law system under the Civil Code of Québec (CCQ), which governs contracts differently from common law provinces. Worker classification is determined by the CRA's four-factor test federally, but provincially, Revenu Québec and the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) apply their own criteria. Articles 2085-2097 of the CCQ define the employment contract, and articles 2098-2129 govern the contract of enterprise — the category that applies to independent contractors.
Montreal is Quebec's freelance hub — from contract developers in the Mile End tech scene to freelance designers in the Plateau, independent game developers (Montreal is a global gaming capital), freelance translators, and marketing consultants serving both francophone and anglophone markets. Quebec City's government sector and Sherbrooke's growing tech community add to the demand.
SignAI generates your Quebec freelance agreement with CCQ-compliant structure, CRA and Revenu Québec classification language, scope of work provisions, payment terms in CAD with QST/GST considerations, and Quebec-specific governing law clauses.

FAQ
Yes. Freelance agreements are enforceable as contracts of enterprise under the Civil Code of Québec (articles 2098-2129). Quebec's civil law system places particular emphasis on the written terms of the contract. SignAI's e-signatures are valid under Quebec's Act to Establish a Legal Framework for Information Technology (LCCJTI) and federal PIPEDA guidelines.
Under the CCQ, the key distinction between an employment contract (art. 2085) and a contract of enterprise (art. 2098) is the element of subordination. An employee is under the direction and control of the employer; a contractor is not. The CRA and Revenu Québec also examine control, ownership of tools, chance of profit, and risk of loss. A written agreement establishing the contractor's autonomy is essential.
Under Quebec's Charter of the French Language (Bill 96), contracts must be available in French if one party requests it. For consumer contracts, French is mandatory. For commercial contracts between businesses, parties can agree to use English, but having a French version available is best practice. SignAI can generate agreements in the language you specify.
If a freelancer's annual revenue exceeds $30,000, they must register for GST (5%) and QST (9.975%) and charge these taxes on their invoices. Below that threshold, registration is optional. Your freelance agreement should specify whether quoted rates include or exclude GST/QST.
Under Canada's Copyright Act and Quebec civil law, the freelancer owns copyright in their work unless a written agreement assigns those rights. Unlike employees in some contexts, freelancers retain ownership by default. Your agreement should include explicit IP assignment or licensing terms.
