Whether a job counts as high-wage for Express Entry is not about your salary.
From November 3, 2026, IRCC sets each occupation's level by its NOC code: the national median wage for that occupation is compared with the average median wage of the overall Canadian workforce. The levels are at least 1.3, 1.5 or 2 times. IRCC's list is based on 2023 to 2025 data.
