The overall average compensation is $59,932 CAD per year. That is equivalent to approximately $40,000 USD.
Alberta ($53,146 average CAD), British Columbia ($55,240 average CAD), and Ontario ($65,281 average CAD).
Thats about right for what I get at my day job although I often get upto $10K extra in expenses depending upon how much I am on the road.
