Source and limitations
These are estimates reported in the official file, not advertised job-offer ranges. Missing place and occupation estimates stay missing.
The occupation mapping is NOC 2021 31301: Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses. NOC unit groups provide a Canadian classification; similarly worded job titles do not automatically map to the same group. Check the official classification for its boundaries.
The file was updated 2025-11-19 and checked 2026-10-12. Each estimate above keeps its own source series, method and reference period. The wage file does not publish an occupation-level respondent count here.
Source methods and reference periods can differ between places. Low and high values are shown only as published; no hourly-to-annual conversion, experience adjustment, interpolation or currency conversion is applied. Some location combinations have no published median or complete source attribution and are not displayed.
Official wages are separate from self-reported survey responses. Survey results remain hidden until a group has at least five matching responses and are not added to this official wage estimate.
This set spans six NOC broad categories and was selected for recognizable occupation groups and available nationwide and local wage coverage. It is not ranked by search volume.
