look at the median wage, and the "low" category , it's 15.00 in Alberta, but still go through the different region, there are minor differences.
It should give you a good ideal , but now you're making 16 ? you should be fine, just list it down on your employment reference letter, again, i am no expert in this and it's better to let forum seniors weight in on your situation.

"Regarding the issue of salary, the Court noted that it was both permissible and reasonable for an officer to have considered the salary paid to the applicant in comparison to that paid in a geographic area for similar work as a fact relevant to the assessment of an applicant’s job experience.16 The Court in Qin did state, however, that a salary below the market rate cannot in of itself disqualify someone from the CEC "
