    50-80k if it's anything like Vancouver.

    PayScale and Indeed are quite weird when it comes down to Canadian salaries.

    I would say anything between 45 to 75 depending on relevant experience, company size, certifications ...

    Possibly more if you factor cost of life.
    Certifications : ITIL, MCSA Office 365, MCSE Productivity, AWS CSAA, Azure Architect, CCSK, TOGAF
    Studying for :  TBD

    That will depend on the company and where is located: Downtown or GTA (Grand Toronto Area)?
    as Azt7 said from 45 - 65K but will depend on your experience and how do you handle the interview.

    Regards,
    2020 Year goals:
    Already passed: Oracle Cloud, AZ-900
    Taking AZ-104 in December.

    The folks on the thread pretty much nailed the salary band for a System Admin here in Toronto. Being a recent system administrator myself and hearing from my peers, I would say a starting salary average for a system administrator who has been working in Toronto for a few years would be a 47-50k and then would top out at high 70s with Senior/Sr. in the title. Anything beyond that band you would be hitting a specialty, engineering, manager or contractor salary band. With a few medium level certifications, you're probably put in the 65k bucket. I believe salary would hopefully be adjusted for cost of living.

    For a senior Windows/Vmware guy - around 80-95.
