Canadian Government Raises Federal Minimum Wage

Effective April 1st, minimum wage for federal sector workers in Canada increased to $18.15 per hour, reflecting a 2.1% inflation adjustment for 2025. Approximately 10% of the country’s workforce falls under federal jurisdiction, including members of SUP/IFPTE Local 160 and TEAM/IFPTE Local 161. With annual increases tied to inflation rates, the federal minimum wage rate has cumulatively increased by 21% since it was established in 2021.
