Salesforce.com's efforts to take over the world has at least extended into Canada.

The on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) provider on Monday announced it has opened a new office in Toronto, to serve Canadian businesses. Vice President Michael Basch will manage the new Toronto office and will host salesforce.com's upcoming November 8 Toronto City Tour.

"Toronto is the perfect addition to our global offices, and provides both the healthy business climate and rich talent pool we were seeking," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of salesforce.com. "The response in this vibrant market has been inspiring, so we're looking forward to building our Toronto team and bringing the benefits of on-demand CRM to even more companies across Canada."

For a venue, Salesforce.com has chosen an office located at 20 Bay Street, which is in the heart of the downtown business district. The facility will be able to support up to 150 people including information technology and finance personnel as well as sales and operations. The office will support Canadian companies like Bell Canada, Nova Scotia Business, and Blast Radius.

Salesforce.com said it is currently in the midst of a major hiring push across the corporation. So if you want stock options, polish up those resumes!
