Low salaries for federal judges hampers effort to recruit top talent, federal commission says
August 20, 2025
Judges for top courts across Canada are underpaid and should receive raises of about 7 per cent to ensure highly qualified candidates continue to apply for jobs behind the bench, according to a commission that reviews judges’ salaries.
The proposed raise would increase the salary of most federally appointed judges to $424,700 from $396,700. There are 968 full-time and 230 part-time judges sitting on federally appointed benches, which include provincial superior and appeal courts, the Federal and Tax courts, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
