In addition, the level of experience affects compensation. An entry-level engineer, for instance, may make about CAD 49,000 a year, but senior management might make about CAD 92,000. For C-suite roles, this remuneration may amount to CAD 137,000 annually.

Completing a certificate, diploma, or degree at least eight months long qualifies you for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which enables you to stay in Canada and work full time. You can work in any occupation in Canada, even one unrelated to your studies, and you don't need a job offer to apply.
