The average salary for first year resident Physicians is just under 65,000 while Ontario physicians have the highest average salary of any Canadian province, topping in at just under $375,000. Both Ontario and Nova Scotia governments are hoping in spite of the enormous challenges they face that an agreement will be reached.
