23 Great Websites to Find Remote Jobs in Canada (2024)

If you are looking for a remote job, whether as your primary source of income or as a part-time gig, you’ve come to the right place

Remote jobs are in higher demand these days than they have ever been before. About 24% of female employees and 21% of male employees work from home as of December 2021, according to Stats Canada .

When I started my journey in 2019 of working online and travelling full-time , I was always searching for good remote work. I know how hard it can be to find legitimate, decently paying remote jobs in Canada.

This is why I have compiled this list of a few trustworthy and effective websites for remote jobs in Canada. 

No matter your skill set or expertise, you will be able to find something that fits your needs and profile.

Best Websites for Remote Jobs in Canada

Some of the best websites to find remote work in Canada are:

1. Indeed Canada

Indeed Canada is easily considered Canada’s number one job platform. At any given time, there are thousands of postings for jobs in Canada. A casual search showed that over 4000 remote jobs are currently available on Indeed Canada, and 250+ of them are just three days old. 

You can start by building, uploading, and managing your resume on Indeed, allowing you to easily apply for any available jobs. You can also be notified when a job that matches your profile is posted. Since it has a high job-posting frequency, your chances of finding the right remote employer on Indeed are high indeed.

2. LinkedIn

LinkedIn is more than just social networking for professionals. It’s also an amazing platform for employers to connect with the right employees, making it one of the best options for your remote job hunting. One thing different about LinkedIn is that you have a stronger profile-building tool here. 

Unlike the typical CV template of most job websites, you can create a more personalized profile on LinkedIn. You can populate it with articles and posts to showcase and augment your claimed skills.

Technical knowledge/expertise is only part of what employers look for in a good employee, and LinkedIn allows you to display more of “you” in your professional profile than other platforms do.

3. Flexjobs 

Flexjobs is a network dedicated to remote and work-from-home jobs (hence the name). They have thousands of listings across the globe for jobs specifically designed to be remote. Almost all jobs that you’ll find on the platform will be scam-free and from legit companies and organizations.

But the catch is that Flexjobs is paid. Jobseekers need to pay monthly, quarterly or yearly premiums (US$14.95, US$29.95, and US$49.95, respectively) to apply for jobs and gain unlimited access to all the jobs posted with Flexjobs. It’s a BBB-accredited site with an A+ rating and truly stellar customer reviews. Most people find it worth the cost.

4. RemoteOK

RemoteOK is another job portal dedicated to remote jobs. Rather than hosting original job postings, this portal leverages the jobs posted on other portals like Candor and Komoot.

The concept of the website was unique, and it has a funky and not-so-corporate vibe, but the portal isn’t as powerful as others on this list.

Many of the jobs posted on the portal are old, and most of the first-page jobs (the hottest jobs on this website) are for coders and developers. The spread of jobs seems relatively thin, and it might not be equally effective for people with other skill sets.

There is a clue in the name of how this website operates. If you want to work remotely with Toptal , you won’t be able to simply search and apply for jobs.

You’ll create a profile and then go through their extensive testing (English and then domain-specific), ensuring that you are indeed an expert in the services you offer. So what’s the payoff?

If you are approved, the hourly rates or part-time wages you will get from Toptal jobs are significantly higher than what you can get on another platform.

For example, Toptal offers a $90-an-hour minimum to financial experts, and the highest prices can go upwards of $250 an hour. 

6. AngelList

While primarily targeting startups and angel investors, this website is also good for remote workers looking to work with those startups. According to their website, 37,171 of the world’s best tech companies and startups are hiring with AngelList, and the website has over 2.7 million active candidates.

You can find a job posting and apply it directly to the company. AngelList claims that they don’t allow any middlemen or consultants. Job seekers can connect directly with hiring employers (established companies and startups).

They also have a tool to compare jobs and salaries to make up your mind about which job you should apply for.

Eluta is a conventional job-hunting site that focuses primarily on Canadian jobs. It doesn’t distinguish between remote and on-site jobs and has a very unflattering web interface.

Despite its appearance, Eluta has been around for many years and is trusted by many A-list employers.

You can search for location-wise available jobs. The website sources jobs directly from the websites of Canadian employers, making it a bit different from portals where the companies post jobs.

Upwork is still one of the premier freelance job portals in the world. Despite several competing sites popping up here and there, Upwork still sees some of the highest job postings and hiring frequencies.

Unlike other remote job searching sites on this list, Upwork focuses on freelancing jobs that may turn permanent in the future. But most of the jobs posted on the website are freelance gigs of a limited time frame and a set payment.  

As a remote worker (freelancer), you must pay 20% of your earnings from a job to Upwork (it’s deducted automatically when a payment is processed). If you’re with the same client for long enough, that amount drops to 10%, which is much more reasonable. But besides that huge cut, Upwork is a haven for many freelancers and remote workers and provides a huge pool of potential customers for them.

9. PeoplePerHour

With a unique name and a cool logo, PeoplePerHour is another freelancing website that has been gaining traction for a few years now. The website claims to have helped freelancers earn about $239 million through various remote jobs.

Its customer experience score is even better than Upwork. The fee structure works in the freelancer’s favour when the job is in excess of a few hundred dollars.

Beyond that, PeoplePerHour charges a 7.5% commission from the freelancer/remote worker. So if you manage to meet an employer willing to hire you long-term, you may be able to save a lot in commission by working through PeoplePerHour than another portal such as Upwork.

Completing the trio of three major online freelancing portals is Fiverr . Unlike other platforms, you don’t simply create a profile and start applying for available jobs on Fiverr.

On Fiverr, you offer “gigs,” a simple job for a set price, that you can do for employers. Employers search through the portal for any available gigs that are similar to the services they require.

Fiverr charges a fixed 20% commission per job from freelancers. Though it does help a lot of employers match remote workers, it takes away control from the freelancers. On the other hand, people who need to get things done can easily sift through a collection of freelancers without getting hundreds of replies to their job postings.

11. Job on Google

Even though Google doesn’t offer a separate tool for job search or has its own variant of freelancing job portals, you can still find remote jobs at Google.

By phrasing your search properly, you can find remote jobs, remote employers near you, freelancing jobs, or similar opportunities.

Since it pulls job data directly from the companies, you will need to apply directly with the companies as well. That means having an electronic CV handy. And even though it doesn’t appear to be a typical job search engine, by modifying the advanced options, you can fine-tune your remote job search.

12. Glassdoor

It’s a common practice that before applying for a job, you should look for its reviews and past employers’ comments about the company. One of the places to find these reviews is Glassdoor . But it can also be used for hunting for good remote jobs.

Hiring Process for Remote Jobs

The hiring process for remote jobs is similar to that of traditional office jobs. However, there are some differences that candidates should be aware of.

Job Postings

Remote job postings are typically found on job boards and company websites. Candidates should carefully read the job description and requirements to ensure they meet the qualifications.

Application Process

The application process for remote jobs is usually done online. Candidates are typically required to submit their resume and cover letter, as well as any other relevant documents. Some companies may also require candidates to complete a skills assessment or provide work samples.

Remote job interviews are usually conducted via video conference or phone. Candidates should be prepared to answer questions about their experience working remotely, as well as their communication and time-management skills.

Hiring Decision

The hiring decision for remote jobs is typically based on the candidate’s qualifications and fit for the role. Companies may also consider the candidate’s experience working remotely and their ability to work independently.

Once a candidate is hired for a remote job, the onboarding process is usually done online. This may include training materials, video conference meetings with team members, and access to company software and tools.

Overall, the hiring process for remote jobs is similar to traditional office jobs, but with some differences in the application and interview process. Candidates should be prepared to showcase their ability to work independently and communicate effectively in a remote environment.

Freelance Job vs Remote Job

There is a lot of overlap between freelance jobs and remote jobs, and many people tend to confuse the two separate terms.

A remote job is when you are connected to or employed by an organization or a company, but you don’t need to be physically present in the office/official workspace. It’s usually a long-term arrangement, where you might also be eligible for employment benefits like paid leaves and matching employer contributions.

A freelance job or gig is when you offer your services to individuals or companies temporarily . Even if a freelance job runs for weeks or even months, it doesn’t mean that you are employed by the entity you are working for. Freelance workers usually don’t qualify for employee benefits. 

Consequently, they have more independence regarding the jobs they want to do, their schedule, and their working methods.

12. eCommerce Store Operator

Do you love storytelling, are you obsessed with online performance metrics, are you into creating great digital products? If so, then eCommerce store operations are destined for you! Instead of opening a physical store and interacting with customers face to face, you open a store selling digital products like digital planners, printables, digital postcards, etc. Or physical products like appliances, tools, clothing, electronics, etc. which are stored in an inventory that can be shipped to customers. Think Amazon and eBay. 

With a low barrier to starting an online storefront, this is one of the most popular work from home jobs. As long as you have a basic marketing plan, a stockpile of products, and a well-researched pricing structure, you can generate a decent income. Many websites such as Shopify and Etsy can be set up without pain.

However, to make it big while competing with millions of buyers in your category could take quite a while. So prepare for going months without even making a sale, but at least you can work from home.

A major in marketing or communications would definitely help, but it’s not required.

You help field a pool of job applicants to fill a client’s vacancy. You use internet job boards, email, and other avenues to contact and connect with job seekers.

Being a virtual recruiter doesn’t mean you have to be on the computer all the time to find applicants, take the initiative to go to different networking events and you could accelerate your search process. Since this is a remote position, you should acquire excellent time management skills and reliable internet access. Recruiters usually receive a placement fee from the company through an electronic transfer for every successfully recruited candidate.

A Financial Advisor can fall under a broad field. You can manage investment portfolios for clients, or help them plan out their retirement or consult them on their personal finance to reach their goals, and many more, depending on what your specialty is.

In order to become a financial coach or advisor, you first need to acquire a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification. Usually it’s ideal to have a background or at least a bachelor’s degree in finance, business, economics, or commerce. Then later on, depending on the role you want, you take specific courses or certificates designated for that path.

In Canada, for beginners, the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) is the prerequisite for most financial-oriented careers. This exam alone takes about 100-200 hours of prep time. Once you’ve passed your final exams, received your certifications, you will be able to work from home in your chosen advisory role. 

Like any career, it’s a two-way street. Your next step is bringing in clients. For this, read up more on digital marketing strategy, social media, and networking. Start small within your circle, leverage Linkedin and professional events or meetups to bring in your potential clients.

16. Affiliate Marketer

Let’s say that you have an online blog and you recommend a book on Amazon to your readers in your post.

Affiliate marketing can go in the form of blog writing, podcasting, social media partnership, as long as you have amassed a significant amount of followers and are able to create content that appeals to them. It’s certainly less costly and risky than starting a business, and it’s a great work-from-home job.

Then you give feedback to the company. After you finish the user test, companies will give out compensation in the form of either gift cards, coupons, or cold hard cash. The best part, you can work from home testing apps!

Typically companies will pay around $10 per testing. Therefore, you can make around $20-$50 per month, depending on how much you’re willing to do.

User Testing and U Test are two credible platforms that will hire you to do user testing.

But a consultant can be anyone who offers professional advice regarding a specific niche whether it be web design, social media, marriage, dating, mental health & fitness, career, etc. If you have amassed vast experience in a particular profession over time, you can make extra money by doing consulting work-from-home jobs. The important thing is to select the correct niche, be clear about which services you offer, and build your credibility. 

To start off, choose your niche, and make sure you have acquired at least 5 years of experience in your field, along with outstanding interpersonal skills. This is one of the most lucrative side hustle ideas.

20. Amazon Seller

If you are passionate about eCommerce and marketing, why not consider the obvious choice? Selling on Amazon, or reselling mystery boxes from Amazon! There are two types of selling mechanisms on Amazon: FBA and FBM. FBA handles the process of storage, packaging, and shipping. On the other hand, FBA is more DIY where you take care of the services of storage, packaging, and shipping.

You will need to take care of the process of storage and shipping as well as the customer support service. Decide what method of selling is best for you. If you have a solid team to do the packaging while you specialize in customer service, then it’s best to do FBM.  

The average Amazon Seller salary in Canada is $98,475 per year or $50.50 per hour.

38. Twitch Streamer

Twitch is an online live-streaming platform that focuses on video game live streams. In fact, some gamers have earned a lot of money streaming video games on Twitch.

You may be passionate about games and play a lot, but do you have a big following? Are your gaming and interpersonal skills good enough to attract them to stay?

Like many online work-from-home jobs, it’s incredibly competitive because the online landscape brings a lot of uncertainty. Though it has a low barrier to entry, it may take years to build up your following and generate money. Twitch offers an Affiliate Program for their streamers to make money while streaming.

The more digital communities grow, the more online moderators are needed to oversee the ongoing activities. Some communities are so big that moderating turns into a full-time work-from-home job. You may have to deal with hate speech, violent content, sexism, racism, etc. Some content can be very disturbing so prepare yourself mentally!

40. eBay Reseller

Like Amazon, eBay is a huge eCommerce platform you can sell various things on. The best thing about eBay is that you can sell used things, from used electronics to books to toys and games, etc. Because eBay has been in the eCommerce game for quite a long stretch of time, there are many competitors in the same categories, so the profit margin may not be as high when you first start. But don’t get discouraged!

Keep your main 9-5 job while hustling to make your product more quality, visible to customers and provide stellar customer service to up your rank. Make sure you do a thorough search on the products you are planning to sell as there may be many competitors already in that space. With some time, research, and skill, you can turn eBay reselling into a great work-from-home job.

Many digital nomads travel all over the world with just their laptop and connection to the internet to produce high-quality content about the places they visit, the food they eat, and how they feel about a particular subject.

This work-from-home job seems easy enough, but the trick here is to produce consistent and authentic content that draws more followers in. One of the biggest trends in the last few years is the Financial Independence, Retire Early or FIRE movement, and FIRE bloggers have found a lot of success.

Work-At-Home Jobs in Canada: Who’s Hiring and How to Find Them

By Digital Editor - Melody McKinnon on December 3, 2022 3 Comments

Canadian businesses have been hiring remote workers for quite some time. Up until recently, the majority were afraid to go there until they were forced to make it part of their business continuity plan. Now that they have proof-of-concept and see the benefits of a remote workforce, you can bet they’ll be sold on the practice. The number of remote jobs for Canadians are bound to increase in the coming years.

It’s the dream of many Canadians to work at home, be it for practical reasons or in a quest for work/life balance.

Some of the benefits of having a job that allows you to work at home are:

• You may be eligible for income tax deductions for a portion of household expenses, such as electricity, internet connection or rent.
• Some employers may cover a portion (or all) of your relevant expenses.
• Your employer may provide health benefits.
• You’ll pay less in work-related expenses, such as transportation and wardrobe.
• Reduce your environmental footprint.
• Be available for your dependents.
• Work around your physical or mental health challenges.

You may be hired as an employee or a contractor, but you’re more likely to receive health benefits if you’re an employee. Read the terms & conditions thoroughly before accepting a job.

What Kind of Jobs Can I do From Home?

There are so many types of jobs that are perfect for home-based workers. Practically any task that can be done remotely with a computer and internet connection, is a possible remote position that someone is hiring for.

A few tasks done by remote workers are:

• Customer Service (phone or email)
• Data Analysis
• Word Processing / Typing
• Transcription
• Collections
• Online Marketing
• Website Content
• Website Management
• Graphic Design
• English-French translation

What You’ll Need to Work at Home

Virtually all remote jobs require a relatively new computer, current operating system, anti-virus software, and a speedy internet connection (check your connection speed ). Most remote employers frown upon using a public computer or public WiFi, such as libraries or coffee shops. Training and setup on your home office computer is typically provided.

Some companies may have very specific requirements or restrictions, such as a minimum monitor size, a noise-cancelling headset , or they might prohibit the use of wireless peripherals. You might also need a dedicated phone line.

You could be required to have additional software specific to the position, such as transcription or word-processing software. It’s often provided free, either by the employer or the software company.

How to Find Legitimate Remote Jobs in Canada

A lot of companies have positions that could easily be done remotely. You’ll have to do some legwork and research to find legit work-from-home jobs, but it’s not too difficult if you use a few parameters to narrow your choices. Then, you can compile a list of search engine keywords related to your ideal job. Set up Google Alerts for those keywords so you can automatically receive a report by email.

There are businesses that are more likely to hire remotely than others. Many tech companies hire remote workers, for example. In fact, some are entirely virtual.

The lasting impacts of work-from-home

One legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada is the ongoing shift in work arrangements and location. Work-from-home (WFH), once considered a temporary emergency solution to the initial lockdowns in 2020, has taken root, reshaping how individuals work in many sectors.

In a previous Policy Options article , we explored this trend using data from a survey called Shaping the Future of Work in Canada conducted in 2022 by EKOS Research Associates. At the time, over 40 per cent of respondents were still working from home or had done so until recently. Many such workers reported very positive work experiences, with satisfaction well above that of those working from traditional work locations.

To see how these trends have further evolved, the Future of Work Consortium conducted a second survey in April and May 2023, drawing on 2,642 employed and self-employed Canadians aged 18 and over.

Several key trends stand out.

First, work-from-home and hybrid arrangements have become a viable option in Canada. Over 40 per cent of workers carried out some amount of paid work from home in the six months prior to our 2023 survey. In pre-pandemic times, this is work that typically would have been done in their employer’s workplace.

That said, there is considerable variation in WFH arrangements. Roughly 16.5 per cent of respondents work entirely at home. Another 23 per cent do the majority of their work from home, and 20 per cent work from home only a bit. At the far end of the spectrum, 40 per cent do not work from home at all (Figure 1).

Second, there are substantial differences in who has access to home-based work. Those who spend most of their work time at home are predominantly full-time employees (68.4 per cent). Just over one in five (21.5 per cent) is self-employed, 5.7 per cent are part-time employees, and 4.4 per cent are seasonal, term, or contract workers.

Highly educated knowledge workers are also more likely to work from home. Over two-thirds (67.1 per cent) of respondents who exclusively work from home have undergraduate or postgraduate degrees compared with under half (47.3 per cent) of respondents who report no home-based work.

Gender slightly influences opportunities to work from home. Over a quarter of men (27.3 per cent) and women (27.8 per cent) work 80 per cent or more of their time at home. But men are also slightly more likely than women to work 100 per cent at home (17.5 per cent men, 15 per cent women) and to do no remote work at all (41.9 per cent men, 38.2 per cent women)

Self-identified visible minorities are generally well-represented among home-based workers. Nearly 29 per cent work at home 80 per cent to 100 per cent of the time compared with about 27 per cent of non-visible minority workers. About one-third of visible minorities report doing no work at home (34.2 per cent) but this is less than other workers (42.3 per cent).

Employer size also shapes remote work, with WFH being more common in smaller organizations. Specifically, of those working at home 100 per cent of the time, 43 per cent of are employed by organizations with under 50 employees in Canada. Only 24 per cent of home-based workers are employed by large organizations with over 1,000 employees in Canada.

Union members are less likely than non-members to report working primarily from home. For example, 7.9 per cent of union members work entirely at home compared to 15 per cent of professional-association members and 22.9 per cent of survey respondents who belonged to neither of these types of organizations.

Third, WFH continues to be linked with very positive assessments of job satisfaction and well-being. This mirrors findings from our 2022 survey , though exceptions to this trend are beginning to emerge.

As figure 2 shows, roughly two-thirds of respondents felt that WFH had a positive impact on their job satisfaction, productivity and mental health. A majority also reported a positive impact on their commitment to their employer and work safety.

That said, we also see some negative impacts on team building and socializing among co-workers.

Interestingly, the more time respondents report working from home, the greater the reported positive impact. For instance, 74.6 per cent of those working fully at home reported positive impacts in job satisfaction compared with just 53.6 per cent of those working 20 per cent of the time at home. A similar trend can be seen for the impact on productivity.

Working primarily from home is also linked to positive assessments on an array of detailed job quality and satisfaction measures, especially among respondents entirely home-based. For this group, such outcomes include: being treated respectfully by co-workers, having opportunities for creativity, having independence at work, trusting their immediate supervisor and senior management, having the ability to balance work and family and the authority to make decisions. They also include having access to a retirement plan, a good income, and input into their employer’s post-pandemic work plans.

How supervisors see WFH

We also asked respondents who supervise others whether they felt working from home had positively or negatively impacted their supervisees.

Of that group, over half had supervisees who worked at home some of the time. Overall, the majority of supervisors reported very positive impacts on their employees’ morale, productivity, and commitment to the organization, as figure 3 shows. However, mixed results are seen on the ability to collaborate. Over one-third of respondents reported a negative impact on collaboration among those they supervise.

Well-being and quality of work life

We asked respondents how satisfied they were with their lives as a whole on a scale of 1 to 10. Those who rated their life satisfaction between 8 and 10 were more likely to be working from home some of the time. About 48 per cent of those working from home at least 60 per cent of the time reported life satisfaction in the 8 to 10 range compared with 42 per cent of respondents who do not work from home. It’s a small but noteworthy difference.

Surprisingly, work from home does not appear to affect physical and mental health. The amount of time worked from home led to no statistically significant differences in respondents’ ratings of their physical and mental health using the categories of excellent/very good, good, or fair/poor.

Finally, given debates over how employers are handling arrangements, we asked about evolving practices. Overall, the vast majority (69 per cent) of respondents had not been consulted about any return-to-work process. Another 11 per cent reported being fully consulted, and 20 per cent somewhat consulted.

In terms of planning, just under half (47 per cent) agreed to a great extent that the return-to-work process had been well-planned. However, nearly one-quarter (23 per cent) did not feel it was well-planned.

The survey also asked: “Recognizing that it may not be practical in your industry, approximately how much of the time would you prefer to work from home?” Only 59 per cent who work exclusively at their employer’s worksite would like to continue that way. In contrast, 81 per cent of those who work from home all of the time want to continue doing so.

Job quality: a new component

To summarize, there are obvious signs that work-from-home is emerging as one of Canadians’ more enduring responses to the disruptions of the pandemic. Workers who can work from home report overall better quality of work life. This has introduced a whole new dimension to job-quality variations. To a large extent, workers who went into the pandemic with a higher socioeconomic status came out ahead.

There have been few public-policy responses to these emerging work trends. A big question is to what extent governments can influence working-from-home patterns in ways that provide more equitable access and benefits.

Note about the survey:

The Shaping the Future of Work in Canada Follow Up Survey was conducted using EKOS Research Associates’ hybrid online/telephone research panel Probit. It offers extensive coverage of the Canadian population (i.e., Internet, phone, cell phone) and equal probability sampling. All respondents were recruited by telephone using random digit dialing and were confirmed by interviewers.

Unlike with online panels where people can opt in themselves, Probit supports margin-of-error estimates. The field dates for the survey were April 25 and May 5, 2023. A random sample of 2,642 individuals who were engaged in the workforce responded. This included employees and the self-employed. The margin of error associated with the total sample is +/- 1.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

All data has been statistically weighted by age, gender and region based on the proportions of employed people from the 2016 census to ensure the sample’s composition reflected that of the actual population of Canada. 

The research methodology and questionnaire were approved by research ethics boards at the University of Alberta and Toronto Metropolitan University. Further details of the survey and questions can be obtained from karen.hughes@ualberta.ca.

The project is funded by the Future Skills Centre and conducted by the multidisciplinary Future of Work research consortium. Members include Graham Lowe, Merv Gilbert, Karen D. Hughes (University of Alberta), Frank Graves (EKOS Research Associates), Jim Stanford (Centre for Future Work) and Pamela Sugiman (Toronto Metropolitan University).

Economic and Fiscal Overview

The state of canada’s economy.

The Canadian economy is outperforming expectations. Both the IMF and the OECD project Canada to see the strongest economic growth in the G7 in 2025. In the face of higher interest rates, Canada has avoided the recession that some had predicted. Headline inflation has fallen significantly from its June 2022 peak of 8.1 per cent to 2.8 per cent in February 2024.

Economic and Fiscal Projections

We’re asking the wealthiest to pay a bit more, their fair share, to keep taxes lower on the middle class, and ensure the next generation inherits not more debt, but Canada’s prosperity.

Budget 2024 is investing in fairness for every generation while delivering on our fiscal objectives. Canada is maintaining the lowest net debt- and deficit-to-GDP ratios in the G7, preserving Canada’s long-term fiscal sustainability.

Improving Tax Fairness for Every Generation

Tax fairness is important for every generation, and it is particularly significant for younger Canadians.

To make the tax system more fair for 99.87 per cent of Canadians, the inclusion rate for capital gains—the portion on which tax is paid—for the wealthiest with more than $250,000 in capital gains in a year will increase from one-half to two-thirds. Only 0.13 per cent of Canadians with an average income of $1.42 million are expected to pay more personal income tax on their capital gains in any given year.

Principal residences will continue to be exempt from capital gains.

Kelowna senior evicted as city prepares to demolish his home

City says multiple unapproved renovations have made home unsafe and unsightly.

Social Sharing

Janusz Grelecki has spent the last two nights sleeping in his truck beside a large pile of his possessions and building materials, after the City of Kelowna ordered the 73-year-old out of the home he has lived in for the past decade and a half.

The eviction on Tuesday was the culmination of an eight-year battle between Grelecki and the city over the state of his property and the multiple unpermitted renovation projects the city says have made it unsafe and unsightly.

"I don't have a place to go now. I try to catch up in my head what I do now, where I stay because I don't have a shower, no water, no shave," Grelecki said from the street outside his home, which is now surrounded by blue construction fencing.

"If I go behind fence, they arrest me. It is like mafia. I have 5,000 pounds of meat in my freezer. Now, access is shut down."

Kelowna senior faces home demolition

Behind the fence, Grelecki's two-storey home is in a state of ongoing construction with a large unfinished deck and a retaining wall with several pieces of rebar sticking out of it. 

Last week the city notified Grelecki of its plans to enforce a demolition order that city council approved in 2021.

A report to council at the time describes the house and retaining walls on the property as unsafe and cites multiple renovations that do not comply with the B.C. Building Code.

Bylaw officers repeatedly visited home

Bylaw officers made two dozen visits to the home on the edge of Kelowna's Rutland neighbourhood over a period of 10 years to deal with complaints about the unsightly property, construction noise, and solid waste storage, the report says.

"Multiple enforcement actions and compliance efforts have been made between 2010 and the present to attempt to have the owner bring and have the property remain in compliance," the report reads.

Grelecki, who immigrated to Canada from Poland over three decades ago, has spent the past three years fighting the demolition order, filing two civil lawsuits against the city and a recent application for an injunction to stop his home being torn down.

"I no give up. The city now thinking I am weak guy, so I try to show them wrong," he said.

"The house is intact. So what is the problem? Engineer, lawyer, everybody no have a clue why house [needs a] demolition."

Engineering firm disputes city's claims

A March 26 report from Elemental Structural Engineers, a company Grelecki hired to assess his property, disputes the city's claims.

"There are currently no significant defects inside the building that would give rise to any serious safety concerns," the report states.

Saved from demolition, 111-year-old Vancouver schoolhouse sails to new home

The property requires "significant work" to comply with the building code, the report concludes, but "the full demolition of the structure and the concrete walls is not warranted based on the alleged safety/hazard concerns alone."

The city maintains the report does not address all the issues with the property. 

The City of Kelowna did not agree to an interview about the case, but provided CBC News with a long list of its dealings with Grelecki from 2010 to present. Over that time the city opened 17 files related to the property for unsightly premises, building bylaw issues, nuisance complaints and property standard infractions, according to the document.

The report lists involvement from the fire department, the B.C. Safety Authority, the RCMP, mental health nurses and city inspectors to deal with issues related to the property.

As for the recent lawsuit and bid to seek a court injunction, "the application is essentially the same as the one previously dismissed by the court. With no injunction in place and the low likelihood of one being successful, the decision was to go ahead," a city spokesperson wrote in an email. 

"He has had eight years to make alternate arrangements."

In a letter to Grelecki last week announcing the demolition, city manager Mike Kapiniak offered to provide referrals for service agencies to assist in providing housing. 

"All costs incurred by the City of Kelowna resulting from undertaking the work required to comply with the remedial action order will be at your cost," Kapiniak wrote, adding that if the invoice is not paid on time, it will be added to Grelecki's property taxes and could result in the land being sold off at a tax sale by the city to recoup the money owed. 

Property does not present safety issue: lawyer

In an interview with CBC News, Grelecki's lawyer, Shane Dugas, said the city has been inconsistent in dealing with his client, citing recent building permits the city granted to Grelecki to do repairs to the home and retaining wall. 

"He relied on the permits and spent money on his engineers to get his property ready to satisfy the [structural] issues, but then the city pulled the permits and he couldn't complete the work," Dugas said. 

In court documents the city argues Grelecki did not inform city staff about the demolition order on his property when applying for the permits and when the staff member was made aware of the situation the permits were revoked.

Dugas also highlighted a cycling crash Grelecki suffered last fall resulting in a concussion and other injuries as a reason his client has been unable to deal with issues on the property. 

"I think it's important that Mr. Grelecki be given an opportunity to complete the repairs," he said.

"This property is not presenting a life and safety issue to anyone. It just seems the city has made its decision to demolish and they don't seem willing to back off."

In the week leading up to the deadline Grelecki's friend Hector Odiyar was on site to help remove the large amount of equipment and construction materials from his property. 

"I really feel sorry for him and the way things are turning out for him," said Odiyar.

"I know he had quite a few chances, but I think now that if he is given another chance, given a permit to finish the work, I think that it would happen."

Have you ever noticed how the tech we love and use every day seems designed more for our personal lives than for work? Think about the big players in tech—Apple, Google, Samsung. They make these amazing phones and tablets that fit well into our personal spaces.

However, when we try to slot them into our work lives (especially in B2B settings), things get a bit...complicated. It's like inviting a friend over only to find out they don't really get along with your other friends. The issue is that the stuff we love about our gadgets at home doesn't always make sense at work.

The Expectation Barrier: One Size Does Not Fit All

The crux of the issue lies in the fundamental differences between consumer and professional use cases. Consumers demand sleek, intuitive devices that cater to personal communication, entertainment and convenience. Businesses, on the other hand, require robust, secure and flexible tools that can support a variety of operational needs, from data security to specialized software applications. The expectation that a single device can seamlessly transition between these realms is proving to be more myth than reality.

Privacy—But Make It Business-Friendly

Privacy is a huge deal for us personally, right? We worry about who's tracking our location or what data our apps are collecting. However, in the world of B2B—like for businesses that manage fleets of trucks—the script flips. Imagine a world where it's actually OK, even necessary, for some gadgets to share their location all the time or to pick up calls automatically. It's not about giving up on privacy; it's about reshaping those rules to fit the business world's puzzle pieces.

In the transportation industry, for example, drivers frequently dock their tablets or phones within their vehicles. In these scenarios, the business's operational demands necessitate that location be shared continuously, and incoming calls may need to be answered automatically.

Typical privacy constraints should not ensnare these requirements, which are driven by the need for efficiency, safety and customer service. Instead, they represent a redefined boundary of privacy in a professional context, where such measures are not just beneficial but essential for the business to function effectively.

This nuanced understanding of privacy underscores tech manufacturers' need for a flexible, context-sensitive approach to device and software design. It's a delicate balance to strike, requiring systems that can intelligently adapt to the varied privacy needs across B2B and B2C contexts. For instance, devices used in professional settings like transportation, healthcare or retail might come equipped with customizable privacy settings, allowing businesses to configure them according to their specific operational requirements without compromising on overall security and data protection standards.

The challenge for tech companies lies in crafting solutions that respect these varied privacy needs, providing businesses the flexibility to operate as needed while still safeguarding against unauthorized data access or misuse. This reimagined approach to privacy in the B2B sector is not about diminishing the importance of data protection but rather about adapting it to fit the unique contours of professional use cases, ensuring that technology serves as a seamless extension of business operations rather than a hindrance.

Operational Hurdles: When Devices Fall Short

Beyond privacy, there are operational hurdles that arise when consumer-grade devices are thrust into professional settings. Compatibility issues with specialized software, inadequate durability and the lack of essential features for business operations can transform these technological marvels into costly impediments. The "it just works" mantra of consumer devices often falls flat in the complex, varied world of B2B, where the expectation is not just for things to work but to work in a way that propels the business forward.

Making It Work: A Techy Balancing Act

Here's the kicker: Making consumer tech play nice in a professional setting isn't about forcing a square peg into a round hole; it's about creating a new space where it fits just right. This means tech giants need to get a little creative. They have to design devices and software that know when to switch hats—from personal to professional.

Imagine a tablet that knows when it's in a truck and changes its settings to share its location for route tracking. Or a phone that automatically knows when to keep things strictly professional. It's about giving businesses the tools to tweak these gadgets to their heart's content, ensuring they work seamlessly in their world.

The path forward requires a paradigm shift in how tech giants approach product design. A dual-approach philosophy, which acknowledges and addresses the distinct needs of both consumer and professional environments, is essential. This entails not only adjustable privacy controls and enhanced security features but also hardware and software that can adapt to a range of professional use cases. Collaboration with B2B clients to understand their unique challenges and requirements can inspire innovative solutions that bridge the current gap.

Here's To Future-Proofing Our Tech

The dream? Tech that understands us—whether we're at home or at work. Devices and software that are flexible enough to jump from our personal lives into our work lives without missing a beat. For the tech industry, it's an open invitation to think bigger—to design with not just the consumer in mind but also the businesses that might end up relying on their gadgets and gizmos.

It's a big ask, sure. However, imagine the possibilities when our devices can truly bridge the gap between our personal and professional worlds. Here's to hoping for a future where our tech doesn't just fit our lives—it enhances every part of them, no matter where we are or what we're doing.
