Bringing higher pay for federally regulated employees and workers in several provinces and territories.
The federal government sets wages for federally regulated private sectors. Provinces and territories set rates for all other workers. The correct wage depends on the employer and industry. Federal and provincial rates can differ.
The federal minimum wage changes every April. Officials link the increase to the Consumer Price Index. The goal is to match rising prices.
The current federal wage stands at $17.75 per hour. It takes effect on April 1, 2026. The next increase should reach about $18.10 per hour. This change follows a two percent inflation measure. Banks, transportation companies, postal services, and telecommunications firms must follow this rate. The adjustment applies automatically.
Nova Scotia has raised wages quickly in recent years. The province ties increases to inflation plus an extra one percent.

Prince Edward Island uses yearly reviews to guide wage changes. The current minimum wage is $16.50 per hour from October 1, 2025. A confirmed increase will raise the rate to $17.00 per hour on April 1, 2026. This makes the increase one of the most certain in the country.
