Electrial wages

[doctordkelly]

Hi, everyone.
I have been asked what are the hourly rates for Electricians?
I would like to hear from someone at the oilsands as it would probably bee the most $
also in Ontario, I have seen ads for licensed men at $ 14.00 an hour, I also suspect that this is an attemp from a immigrant owner to expedite his brother in law into the country,as if no canadian electricians will accept this, then he will be able to fofill the postion out of country.
I have also heard that non union oilsands jobs as electricians is $30.00 and that union jobs are $42.00 with benifits food and lodgeing included.
hope to hear from you soon

I've been to the oil sands in Alberta and the industrial union rates are approx $33/hr plus benefits and the non union industrial rates are approx $32/hr plus benefits. I've been to B.C. and the going rate for J.Man electrician (residential/commercial) approx $21/hr . Oh but wait if your new to BC it's only $18/hr. I spoke with a fellow from the east coast(Nova Scotia) and the local rates are approx $16/hr. So it depends on the provincial/local economy.
