Electrical Engineer Salary in Canada

Electrical Engineer pay in Canada: Toronto leads, Edmonton trails

The Canada national median for a electrical engineer is $202,000 a year. Among 4 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $131,000 in Edmonton to $151,000 in Toronto (1.2×).

Electrical engineers design and test electrical systems, circuits, and electronics. Common screening skills include Circuits, Signal processing, PCB, and Testing.

A modeled national band runs about $136,600–$282,000 around that midpoint. Express Entry points and provincial licensing can matter more than the cash order. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +9% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Canadian city.

Toronto sits -25% vs the national median; Edmonton sits -35%. 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.

Canada shows about 2.1% CPI in 2025. A electrical engineer raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby engineering titles on this site include Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, and Aerospace Engineer.
