CanadaCareerFit · Source methodology

Data sources

Our tools are based primarily on Canadian federal and provincial government information.

Income tax and payroll

Salary estimates use published Canada Revenue Agency tax brackets and credits, Service Canada Employment Insurance rates and Canada Pension Plan contribution limits for the stated tax year.

Occupations and wages

Occupational classifications use Statistics Canada's NOC 2021 system. Wage references use Government of Canada Job Bank data and methodology.

Immigration programs

Express Entry references come from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Ontario program references come from Ontario.ca and the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.

Update timing

Each tool identifies its assumptions and tax year. Official pages can change between our reviews, so readers should verify current requirements before making an application or financial decision.
