What would be a good annual salary in Canada?

Question

With let's say 3 years of experience in finance? (Any location you know would help, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Whitehorse, etc.)

Answer 1

3 years of finance does not command prime salary. I would say to take any offer above C$60,000 But you'll never know until you put yourself in the market. If you are planning to live in any metro areas such as Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto. You would really need 6 figures to have a leisure live.

Answer 2

Depends on the city - everything is higher in Toronto. It also depends on what profession in finance you are talking about specifically. In i-banking you could expect anything up to $100,000 (after three years). If you aren't some hot-shot, then $50-$60,000 is probably something to reasonably expect.

"We'll begin our survey of Canadian wage rates with the minimum wage. Each province sets its own minimum wage - ranging from $6.40 to $8.50 per hour. We've provided detailed figures for the minimum wage in each Canadian province.

Graduates in the secondary education sector earn attractive salaries by Canadian standards. For example, school-teachers at the top of the pay scale (after 11 years teaching) can earn $70,000 pa or more.

Academic salaries vary quite widely depending on the employer. Lecturer pay scales run from around $42,000 - $70,000. Assistant professor / senior lecturer pay scales run from around $50,000 - $80,000. For professors the scale is around $75,000 - 110,000. Individual institutions may pay significantly more or less than these averages. "
