Q. Which job gives highest salary in Canada?

The top-paying jobs in Canada are - cardiologist, anesthesiologist, psychiatrist,  surgeon, physician, orthodontist,  chief marketing officer, vice president, software engineering manager, pharmacist, enterprise architect, data scientist, and corporate controller.

The national average salary of an anesthesiologist in Canada is $358,908 per year, which is the highest in Canada. Anesthesiologists are certified medical experts who administer drugs and pain management plans to patients. Most professionals need to complete 5 years of a residency program that specializes in anesthesiology.

During training, they study the different organs of the human body, such as the eyes, brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver. Top companies that are hiring anesthesiologists in Canada are Prairie Mountain Health, Nova Scotia Health Authority, Northern Health, Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), and Saskatchewan Health Authority.

The highest-paying cities in Canada are Burin, Toronto, Prince Albert, Vancouver, Yorkton, Halifax, Sydney, Antigosh, and Gander. Similar jobs that pay high salary packages that are close to an anesthesiologist's figures are hospitalist, urgent care physician, pediatrician, and pain management physician.

Professionals who are working as anesthesiologists can make good money if they work in rural or remote areas since there is high demand. The income is higher than the average Canadian's, and most anesthesiologists prefer to work in dedicated hospitals or surgeon centers.

The pay scale for an experienced anesthesiologist can go as high as $548,419, and popular soft skills are sought after in stress management, critical thinking, communication, and multitasking. Anesthesiologists are expected to work at least 65 hours per week in hospitals and may sometimes have long working hours.

According to the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society, doctors in Alberta say that there is a nationwide shortage of skilled anesthesiologists, and it is taking a toll on surgery patients in the province.
