These three figures are the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) pay grid, not a survey median: everyone at the same level and step earns the same, and the typical pay shown on this page is the full officer first step. The next two cards give the steps. Job Bank's median for border services officers across Canada is $40.10 an hour, about $83,000 a year, highest in New Brunswick and British Columbia at $46.15.
