Do work permit holders have the same pay rights?
Yes. Employment standards, including minimum wage, overtime, stat holiday pay and vacation pay, apply to every employee, whatever their immigration status.
Each province sets its own rules, and federally regulated workplaces such as banks, airlines and telecoms follow the Canada Labour Code. If your pay looks wrong, compare it with the tools above, then raise it with your employer or your province’s employment standards office.
How do I get ready for a job search in Canada?
Write a short, achievement-focused resume in Canadian format, use the keywords from each job posting, and know the pay range for the role before you negotiate.
The resume builder can import your existing CV, checks it against Canadian conventions and matches it to a job ad. The salary calculator shows what an offer is worth after tax.
