Hi, New to the site, hoping you may be able to help.

Just wondering if there are such sites that give an idea of starting salaries for particular jobs?
I know what my starting wage will be here in the UK (when I qualify later this year) But have been told that I should expect to get more in canada?

Thanks in advance.

Some more detail, like ohh I dunno, what particular job you are talking about might make an answer easier to find!

Are you a lumberjack or seal clubber? If not then probably not.

Sorry. Here we have lots and lots of sites that provide you with salary info a huge variety of jobs. As in, you state your occupation and it gives you the amount, therefore, I didn't think it was important to tell you what I do as I could look myself.

If it helps; midwife!

I don't think they have midwives here, in Ontario, which province are you going to?

Well, I am sure there is information somewhere on statscan (Statistics Canada) website for average salaries but it's probably out of date and of course is an average which isn't neccessarily what you are looking for. You will probably have more success searching for this information from provincial websites as it'll be something that varies from province to province. One problem you might have in some provinces though is that midwives don't exist in some places!

Thanks. Im not entirely sure yet but, yes they do have midwives in Ontario

I stand corrected. ON BC AB QC and MB.

AFAIK, midwives without Canadian experience or much UK experience (you have yet to qualify ) start at the bottom like everyone else. I cannot think why you were told that you would earn more here as a new grad....? It will be quite the opposite in BC, for example, as you are foreign trained. I am assuming you have a BSc in Nursing coming up. Best to check with each province as to where you would stand with your level of experience. Best of luck.

25k GBP = $CA 50k
Sounds like more, innit.

Rich.

Sorry, I know very little about it, hence coming here asking for infomation. Im only going by what I have been told, I cant go by anything else!

Starting wage for a midwife here is 19k

Thank you so much, thats just the type of info I was after!

That'll give me something to do this eve!

[QUOTE=DMBELL;4382547] My part of BC - a new grad will earn less than $40k (the very rough salary equivalent). You will also have no benefits, which means you have to cover your own medical by way of paying monthly premiums, no dental coverage (essential) no seniority and be on-call for shifts until you have time-in and can move up the chain. That situation does not last forever, but I know many nurses here who are still on-call part time (which means nil hours contract in UK lingo) after two years. Many of these have children and cannot work all the night shifts, so you refuse a shift, you get bumped down the list. That is the same for many positions here, but I know that elsewhere in Canada you may fare better. Nursing is a good profession to get into in most countries; probably one of the most portable professions that I can think of.
