At the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, for example, full professors earn an average of $154,346 annually (including medical and dental benefits), associate profs average $114,382, while assistant professors earn an average of $100,338.

At McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario, the average annual salaries are $142,278 for full professors, $111,421 for associate professors, and $83,284 for assistant professors.

At Nova Scotia’s Acadia University, full profs make an average of $113,252, associate profs $90,212, and assistant profs $77,640.
