What's different about Quebec
Quebec has Canada's highest provincial income tax and runs its own pension plan (QPP) instead of CPP.
Average gross pay in Quebec is around $62,000, below the national figure of about $65,000 — which shapes what a given salary feels like locally as much as the tax does.
