If you charge clients outside of province, you don't need to collect PST, and if outside of Canada, you don't need to collect GST.

Canada Revenue Agency:

Generally, GST/HST registrants must charge and account for the GST on
taxable supplies (other than zero-rated supplies) of property and
services made in Canada. However, where GST/HST registrants make
taxable supplies (other than zero-rated supplies) in Canada, and those
supplies are made in a participating province, they must charge and
account for the HST instead of the GST.

PS: I think you should consult with Canada Revenue anyway. From my experience: I had sole proprietorship in Quebec, when I had clients from Ontario, I collected only GST, when I had clients in US, I didn't collect taxes at all.
