Do you provide legal or compliance advice?

No. We are an IT services and consulting firm. We build the technical controls and evidence that your lawyer or compliance officer specifies for obligations such as FINTRAC record keeping, PIPEDA and BC PIPA, and we are happy to work alongside your advisors.

Which privacy laws apply to real estate firms in Quebec?

Firms in Quebec are generally subject to Quebec's Law 25 (the modernised private-sector privacy law) and PIPEDA for interprovincial activity, and reporting entities have further federal record-keeping duties. We do not provide legal advice, but we implement the technical controls your lawyer or compliance officer requires.

Who will I speak with at ITRE?

You will speak with a senior advisor from the start. ITRE is a sub-brand of SAZ.ca and Sedighi.ca, led by Ali Sedighi, MBA, who has more than seventeen years of delivery experience and personally reviews the guidance we publish.

How quickly can a Quebec brokerage be onboarded?

A typical brokerage is onboarded in stages over four to eight weeks, beginning with identity and email protection. Timing depends on the number of users and devices and on how much needs to be migrated, and we schedule changes around your closing calendar.

Can you support agents who use their own devices?

Yes. We use mobile device management and app protection to separate brokerage data from personal content, enforce encryption and updates, and allow remote removal of brokerage data without touching an agent's personal photographs or messages.

The commercial setting

The economy of Quebec is built on aerospace, AI and technology, manufacturing, finance and creative industries. Those industries shape real estate demand, from housing and rental to commercial and industrial property, and they shape the counterparties a firm deals with. We align our technology advice with the type of real estate business you run in Quebec and the pace of the local market.

Where we work in Quebec

We support clients throughout Quebec, including Montreal, Quebec City and Laval. Most work is delivered remotely from our Vancouver base, with on-site coordination for installations, relocations and incident response. Each community has its own page describing how we support its real estate firms.

Connectivity and continuity

Infrastructure in Quebec is characterised by strong Montreal and Quebec City connectivity and French-language support expectations. Real estate offices therefore benefit from a second internet path, cloud-hosted records and tested backups. Environmental risks include ice storms, spring flooding and severe winter weather, which we plan for with simple, written continuity procedures.

Protecting client information in Quebec

Client information is the core asset of a real estate practice. For firms in Quebec, Quebec's Law 25 (the modernised private-sector privacy law) and PIPEDA for interprovincial activity guide how it must be collected, safeguarded and retained. We translate those expectations into concrete controls, from encrypted devices to expiring document links, and record them so you can show your work if asked.
