Jobs in Ontario

Ontario has the largest job market in Canada. Most postings are in the Greater Toronto Area, followed by Ottawa, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London and Windsor, with mining and forestry work in northern cities such as Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Timmins.

The province is strong in several fields at once. Toronto leads in finance, technology and media, Ottawa in federal government work, and southwestern Ontario in automotive and food manufacturing. Health care and education hire everywhere. Commutes matter here more than in most provinces, so check transit and highway times before applying across the GTA. Many Ontario employers must include a pay range in public job postings. Browse jobs in Toronto, jobs in Ottawa, Hamilton, Kitchener or London.
