Canada to Increase Minimum Wage
Key Points
- Canada will introduce a new federal minimum wage in April 2025
Canada’s Minimum Wage Increases
Canada introduced new regulations that will increase the federal minimum wage to $17.75 per hour on April 1, 2025, representing a 2.4% increase. This adjustment aims to ensure that salaries for workers in federally regulated private sectors keep pace with the year-over-year cost of living increases and to help part-time, temporary and low-wage workers earn more.
Starting 1 April 2025, employers need to adjust their payroll information to pay employees at least the new hourly wage. Employers must pay higher wages if the provincial or territorial minimum wage exceeds the federal rate.
