Teacher salary in Canada

An average teacher salary in Canada is quite attractive. And, if you have a passion for teaching, this is a great career. It's also important to know other factors that determine an teacher salary. For example, salary will be based on: 

  • the grade level you are qualified to teach
  • years of teaching experience
  • additional qualifications
  • and, the region or city where you teach.

So, based on these factors, you'll get an idea of the average teacher salary you can expect. For example, if you have just recently started teaching, you'll likely be paid on the lower end of the pay scale. But, if you have greater than 10 years of experience, you may be paid on the higher end of the scale.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the number of teaching jobs available in Canadian cities. This can include:  

 

  • The projected employment growth based on population growth, student enrollment, and classroom size
  • The number of teaching positions that will become available due to teachers retiring from the workforce
  • The unemployment rate for teachers with recent experience in the city.

 

With a rapidly aging population in Canada, job vacancies will likely increase as teachers plan to  retire over the next five years. Teaching jobs will always be in demand. So, if you’re passionate about teaching, you’ll likely be able to secure a job. Also, if you’re willing to move to where an opportunity exists, you may find it easier to land a teaching job. As mentioned before, you may find greater job opportunities outside of large cities.
