Data Analyst in Canada: read the median against a +23% outlook

The Canada national median for a data analyst is $163,000 a year. Among 4 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $102,000 in Montreal to $125,000 in Toronto (1.2×).

Data analysts collect, clean, and interpret data to help teams make better decisions. Common screening skills include SQL, Excel, Dashboards, and Statistics.

A modeled national band runs about $111,700–$225,800 around that midpoint. Express Entry points and provincial licensing can matter more than the cash order. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +23% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Canadian city.

Toronto sits -23% vs the national median; Montreal sits -37%. Relocating inside Canada for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby technology titles on this site include Software Engineer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, and Data Scientist.
