Regardless of whether Canadians were originally born in the country or have migrated there, they all share one common desire. This is to earn as much money as they can in order to support their dependents and to live a comfortable and relaxing life in the country.

Brief View of The Canadian Job Market
To shed some light on the above list of the highest-paying jobs in Canada, it is important to note that out of the 15 jobs, 12 of them fall under two general employment industries:
- Healthcare
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
The jobs that don’t fall under these industries are:
- Corporate Controller

This is noteworthy since there is a broad significance to the possible opportunities for Canadian immigrants who are potentially qualified. This was proven by Canada’s establishment of draws that are based on categories for Express Entry earlier this year.
Important Note: These “draws” are also known as “rounds of invitations”.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) started to conduct a new Express Entry draw known as a category-based draw on June 28, 2023. These draws are expected to be carried out with the standard Express Entry draws. Through this, the IRCC plans to bring many skilled workers to Canada who can assist in filling labor market gaps and challenges faced in certain required industries.
IRCC will be using category-based Express Entry draws for 2023 that’ll prioritize candidates with the following:
- Proficiency in the French Language
- Work experience in the healthcare industry
- Work experience in STEM professions
- Work experience in the Trade Industry
- Work experience in the Transport Industry
- Experience working in Agriculture & Agri-Food occupations
