Hi {{ first_name | default:there }},

Getting a job in your field in Canada is one of the most gratifying parts of the immigration journey. But which jobs pay well in Canada? And what level of education do you need to get a well-paying job?

Diploma

Diploma programs are typically focused on a narrow field of study and are less time-intensive than a bachelor’s degree. Earning your diploma shows that you’ve learned the fundamentals of this particular area of study.

Some of the most lucrative jobs in Canada you can get with a diploma include:

  • Stationary energy sources installer and operator

  • Heavy/industrial equipment maintenance technician

  • Allied health diagnostic, intervention, or treatment professional

  • Electrical or electronic engineering technician.

Scotiabank has banking products designed for foreign workers and new permanent residents. If you’re ready to set up your first bank account, or looking to switch, getting started is easy.

Bachelor’s degree

Canada is home to many world-class schools, and getting a bachelor’s degree opens up many new opportunities.

This includes some of the highest-paying jobs in Canada in fields like:

  • Pharmaceutical sciences

  • Chemical engineering and related studies

  • Miscellaneous engineering fields

  • Nursing.

Master’s Degree

A master’s degree typically takes one to two years to earn following a bachelor’s or undergraduate degree.

Some of the high-paying industries you can enter with a master’s degree include:

  • Finance and financial management services

  • Pharmaceutical sciences and administration

  • Accounting

  • Business, commerce, and administration.

Wherever you are in your education or job-finding process, congratulations - you’ve already done the hard work of starting your research.

Don’t forget though: there’s one task you need to do before you start working in Canada, and that’s setting up your banking. Why? Because depositing your first pay cheque won’t be possible until you have an active bank account.
