Surviving in Canada: Well-paying jobs without a university degree

Arriving in Canada is one thing; surviving there is something entirely different, especially considering the high costs of living. The essentials like food, shelter, and clothing can be expensive, making it crucial to have enough savings or a job to cover expenses.

Fortunately, there are well-paying occupations in Canada that don’t require a university degree. While some jobs may call for specific skills or experience, a degree is not always mandatory. Here are some lucrative positions you can consider:

  1. Driving: With a valid driver’s license and language proficiency, you can work as a transit driver, earning between $73,000 to $100,000 annually. Having your own car can be beneficial for navigating the city.

  2. Construction: The construction industry contributes significantly to the Canadian economy. Working in construction as a labourer, electrician, or carpenter can yield around $30,000 to $50,000 per year.

  3. Agriculture: Agriculture is vital for food production, and you don’t need a university degree to work in this sector. Farmers in Canada make between $30,000 to $60,000 annually.

  4. Hospitality: Fluency in at least one language other than English is essential for working in the hospitality industry. You can find roles in the kitchen or as a steward with an average salary of around $25,000.

  5. Online Business: The internet offers various opportunities to earn a living online. Engaging in freelance work, affiliate marketing, blogging, YouTube, or Amazon KDP can generate a reasonable income. The key requirement for online business is proficiency in reading and writing plain English.
