Video Editor Salary in Canada

Video Editor pay in Canada: Toronto leads, Montreal trails

The Canada national median for a video editor is $116,000 a year. Among 4 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $73,200 in Montreal to $88,600 in Toronto (1.2×).

Video editors assemble footage into polished, engaging stories for screen and social. Common screening skills include Premiere, After Effects, Color, and Audio.

A modeled national band runs about $74,200–$167,000 around that midpoint. Express Entry points and provincial licensing can matter more than the cash order. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% 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.
