Top Paying Jobs in Canada

This ranking is based on official wage data from the Government of Canada (Employment and Social Development Canada). Occupations are ranked by median hourly wage, which represents the midpoint where half of workers earn more and half earn less. Annual salary estimates are calculated based on a standard 2,080 working hours per year (40 hours/week x 52 weeks).

Wage data varies significantly by province and territory. Use the province filter above or visit individual province pages to see region-specific salary rankings. These figures are useful for career planning, immigration decisions (such as LMIA applications), and understanding Canada's labour market.
