The IT job market in Quebec has been going through a rebalancing phase since 2023. But experienced, specialized professionals have nothing to worry about, the data confirms it.
IT remains one of the strongest sectors in the Canadian economy. In 2024, more than 802,900 people worked in the information and communications technology sector in Canada, representing 3.9% of national employment. (Source: ISED - Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, 2024)
Even better: in October 2025, the IT unemployment rate in Canada was only 3 %. (Source: Statistics Canada, via ITI.ca, 2025) In practical terms, if you have the right skills, the market is yours.
The IT market is no longer what it was three years ago and that’s good news if you have experience. Between 2022 and 2025, IT employment among workers 30 and older grew by 3%, while entry-level positions declined by 18%. (Source : Institut du Québec, 2025)
Companies are now looking for profiles that can deliver real added value: cybersecurity, cloud computing, DevOps, ERP/NetSuite, artificial intelligence, and automation If your profile matches these specialties, demand is strong and salaries reflect that.
Before applying, it’s essential to know what your profile is worth on the market. Here are the salary ranges observed by our Fed IT consultants in Greater Montreal, based on mandates and interviews conducted with hundreds of IT professionals.
| Position | Entry-level | Intermediate | Senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Stack Developer | 90 k$ | 100 k$ | 120 k$ |
| IT Business Analyst | 80 k$ | 90 k$ | 120 k$ |

These ranges vary depending on the industry, company size, and management responsibilities. They are provided for reference purposes. Your profile may differ based on your specialization.
Salary negotiation is first and foremost a matter of preparation. Base your case on market salary ranges (such as those in our guide) to define a minimum acceptable salary and a realistic target. Then highlight your rare skills: a cybersecurity or cloud profile negotiates very differently from a generalist profile.
Our consultants guide you through every step, including the negotiation phase.
Applying directly on job boards means you’re only seeing a fraction of the market. A specialized firm like Fed IT gives you access to a much broader reality and a level of support you simply won’t find on other job search platforms.
A large portion of IT job openings in Montreal are never publicly posted. They circulate exclusively through the networks of specialized recruitment firms. By working with Fed IT, you gain access to these confidential mandates, often the most interesting, highest-paying positions in the most sought-after organizations.
The difference between a generalist recruiter and a Fed IT consultant is simple: ours knows how to distinguish a DevOps from a cloud administrator, an ERP analyst from a BI business analyst. They won’t send you to a position that doesn’t match your expertise. They speak your language and that changes everything when it comes to representing you to an employer.
98 % of our clients and candidates say they are satisfied or very satisfied with their experience with Fed IT. (Source: Fed IT, satisfaction survey 2025)
