Financial Advisor Salary in Canada

Financial Advisor in Canada: read the median against a +13% outlook

The Canada national median for a financial advisor is $189,000 a year. Among 4 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $120,000 in Montreal to $143,000 in Toronto (1.2×).

Financial advisors help clients plan investments, retirement, and long-term wealth. Common screening skills include Planning, Investments, Client relations, and Risk.

A modeled national band runs about $104,000–$293,000 around that midpoint. Express Entry points and provincial licensing can matter more than the cash order. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +13% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Canadian city.

Toronto sits -24% 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.

Canada shows about 2.1% CPI in 2025. A financial advisor raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
