What a commercial glazier earns depends on certification, experience, and where they work. Because glazier is a skilled Red Seal trade, certified journeypersons on commercial and architectural work sit toward the top of the band. The table below shows the official Job Bank wage band by province for 2026.
These are hourly low-to-high bands from Job Bank Canada, classified under NOC 73111 (Glaziers), updated November 19, 2025. The national median is $30.16 per hour.
| Province | Hourly low to high |
|---|---|
| Quebec | $24.00 to $43.94 |
| Ontario | $20.68 to $44.70 |
| British Columbia | $23.00 to $39.00 |
| Alberta | $20.00 to $37.00 |
| Nova Scotia | $18.00 to $33.66 |
Job Bank publishes a glazier wage band for these five provinces only. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the three territories are not shown because Job Bank does not publish a band for this trade there.
What drives the spread
- Red Seal certification and journeyperson status, which lift the floor and the ceiling
- Compulsory certification in Quebec, which supports the highest median in the country
- Curtain wall, storefront, and architectural aluminum experience, which pays for skill
- Commercial and institutional construction volume, strongest in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta
Reading the ranges
These bands cover NOC 73111, the glazier trade. Apprentices sit near the floor. Certified journeyperson glaziers on commercial and architectural work sit toward the ceiling, especially on curtain wall and building-envelope projects.
