How to read these ranges

Region: Toronto and Vancouver run 5 to 12 percent above the midpoint; Calgary, Ottawa, and Montréal sit near it; smaller markets and Atlantic Canada run below.
Public versus private: Hospitals and health authorities pay to a grid, often with strong pension and benefits offsetting a lower base. Distributors, manufacturers, and technology companies pay a higher base with bonus.
Premium skills: Cloud security, AI and ML engineering, Oracle Cloud SCM, and bilingual marketing in regulated categories command offers above the ranges shown.
Hybrid and remote: Fully on-site roles in major cities increasingly need to pay toward the top of the range to compete with hybrid offers.
