Physician Salary in Canada

Physician pay in Canada: Toronto leads, Montreal trails

The Canada national median for a physician is $386,000 a year. Among 4 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $243,000 in Montreal to $294,000 in Toronto (1.2×).

Physicians diagnose and treat illness, drawing on years of medical training and specialization. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Treatment, Clinical judgment, and Ethics.

A modeled national band runs about $247,000–$555,800 around that midpoint. Express Entry points and provincial licensing can matter more than the cash order. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +3% 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 physician 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 healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Physical Therapist.
