Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Security Guard Jobs in Canada
What is the hourly wage range for security guard jobs in Canada in 2026?
Job Bank data shows security guards earn $16.50 per hour at the low end, $20.00 median, and $27.00 high in 2026, equating to annual salaries of $34,320 to $56,160 for 40 hours/week over 52 weeks. Entry-level roles start at $16.50 per hour nationwide. Overtime rates are 1.5 times regular pay after standard hours.
What work permit is required for international applicants seeking security guard jobs in Canada in 2026?
A Temporary Foreign Worker Program work permit is required, preceded by an employer-obtained Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) costing $1,000 per position. LMIA processing takes 10 business days inside Canada or 28 outside, followed by 8-16 weeks for permit issuance. Security guard occupations (NOC 64410) qualify if no Canadian worker is available.
What education or experience is needed for entry-level security guard jobs in Canada?
No post-secondary education is required; a high school diploma or equivalent is sufficient for most roles. Zero prior experience is needed for entry-level positions, but a provincial security training certificate and clean criminal record check are mandatory in regulated provinces. On-the-job training is provided by 72% of employers.
How do I get a security guard license in Ontario in 2026?
Complete a Ministry-approved 40-hour training course costing $70-$100, pass the exam with 75% score, then apply online with a criminal record check ($25-$65), photo, and ID. License fees are $80 for 1 year or $220 for 5 years. Approval takes 20 business days if all documents are complete.
