Study at University of Fredricton
The University of Fredericton (UFred) is a private institution established in 2005 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, that offers online, high-quality, and affordable education for students from all across ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø and the world
Under the Constitution of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, the responsibility for enforcing labor laws rests with each one of the ten provinces and three territories and so minimum wages in ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø are defined differently by each province — minimum wages in Yukon Territory stand at $9.27/hour while those in Nunavut currently stand at the highest rate ($11/hour).
Beware! It is important not to accept employment that pays below the minimum wage as such employers are not only taking advantage of your labor but also breaking Canadian labor laws. Getting paid below the minimum is only acceptable if you are working at a liquor service and you get tips, you are really inexperienced or you are still underage.
