HVAC technicians install and repair heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems. Common screening skills include Diagnostics, Refrigerant, Electrical, and Safety.

A modeled national band runs about $84,000–$159,500 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 -23% vs the national median; Montreal sits -38%. 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.
