How to find a wage in four steps
- Find the occupation hereSearch by title or NOC code, or filter by TEER. Confirm the code against the duties in the NOC finder: the title alone is not enough.
- Copy the titlePress "Copy title" on the row. Job Bank's wage search cannot be pre-filled from another website, so you paste the title there.
- Choose the regionWages differ by region. Pick the city, or the province if your job is not in a large centre, and read the low, median and high hourly wage.
- Use the right numberFor an LMIA the employer's offered wage must meet the prevailing wage; for Express Entry the wage level is the occupation's, not yours. See below.
Reading a Job Bank wage report
- Low, median and high. These describe the spread of wages for the occupation in that region, not what one employer must pay.
- Region matters. The same NOC can show a different median in Toronto, Calgary and a rural area. Check which region the report shows before you quote it.
- Method. Job Bank explains how it builds the figures on its wage methodology page. Historical wage data is published as open data.
- Wage is not eligibility. A median wage does not decide your NOC, a program's wage floor or your selection. Programs set their own thresholds.
Where wages matter in an application
- LMIA and work permits. The offered wage is compared with the prevailing wage for the occupation and location, and with the high-wage threshold. Use our LMIA wage threshold checker for the threshold.
- Express Entry. From November 3, 2026, IRCC's high-wage list affects CRS points. The "Express Entry level" column here comes from that list; see the high-wage occupation checker.
- Provincial programs. Some streams set wage minimums or reward higher wages. Check the stream's own rules in our PNP finder.
Limits of this tool
No wage figures are shown here. Job Bank updates its wage data and it differs by region, so a copy on this site could be out of date. Always read the figure and the reference date on Job Bank itself. Our list matches titles; it does not confirm your NOC.
