Farm worker wages vary across Canada
There is no single salary for every Canadian farm worker. Advertised wages can vary according to province, occupation, experience, employer, working conditions and whether the position is paid hourly, weekly or under another arrangement.
Compare wages using current job listings
Canada Farms Jobs displays salary information from active agricultural vacancies when the source provides it. Comparing multiple current listings can help you understand the advertised pay for general farm work, dairy work, livestock jobs, harvesting and farm machinery positions.
Temporary foreign workers and wages
For the federal Agricultural Stream, employers must follow program wage rules. Government guidance states that temporary foreign workers must receive wages and benefits consistent with the applicable requirements, and employers must review and adjust wages when required.
Why hourly wage comparisons are useful
When comparing vacancies, use the same wage unit. An hourly wage should not be directly averaged together with annual or weekly compensation. Our job landing pages calculate hourly salary summaries only from listings identified as hourly pay.
Browse salaries by province
Compare current advertised positions through Ontario farm jobs, Alberta farm jobs, Quebec farm jobs and British Columbia farm jobs.
Look beyond the wage
Before accepting employment, review hours of work, employment terms, location, experience requirements, transportation, housing information where applicable, and the employer's complete job description.
