Is there a minimum wage requirement if I'm a PGWP holder and applying for CEC? I have a target employer but I want to make sure that the salary is enough for CIC to consider my CEC application

When applying under CEC, your responsibilities under your NOC code will weigh more heavily than your wage. However, CIC may also check if your wage falls within the salary range of your chosen NOC.

Use this link to check the minimum wage for your NOC. You can search by City or Postal Code.

There is no 'minimum wage requirement.' However, it IS expected that skilled workers be remunerated within the normal range for their occupation.
