CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) does not break out oncology, but its average gross payment across medical specialties is about $405,000 a year (2023 to 2024), and internal medicine specialists average about $445,000. Most oncologists work in cancer centres on a salary or contract, with little overhead, so net pay of $350,000 to $450,000 is typical. It varies by province.
