6 High-Paying Jobs To Apply For In Canada That Require Minimal Experience & Education

Train Conductor

Salary: $85,000 in your first year as a qualified conductor, with the opportunity to make up to $140,000

Company: CP Rail

Location: Wilkie, SK

Who Should Apply: Anyone with an interest in the wide world of locomotion!

This job is perfect for anyone with a high school diploma (or equivalent certification), a bit of work experience and an affinity for mechanical work. A valid driver's license is required, but no railroad experience is needed as the role provides 16 weeks of paid training.

But, this position won't be for everyone. The job is based in Saskatchewan and you should be ready to work weekends and potentially be on call 24 hours a day.

Claims Analyst

Salary: $80,000 to $85,000

Who Should Apply: Anyone who's interested in the world of insurance.

Described as an entry-level position, all you need to apply for this role is a post-secondary degree or relevant work experience.

The appropriate RIBO license is also required, but if you don't have that already, you can work on attaining one once you've been hired.

Some experience and familiarity with insurance policy and related work is an asset, but not a requirement.

Salary: $66,498.64 to $85,962.24

Company: Government of Alberta

Location: Cities of Red Deer and Olds

Who Should Apply: While this job does require education and maybe a little bit of experience, it's great for anyone with a background in social work — and does not require you to have been in the field for multiple years.

Working in the cities of Red Deer and Olds, you'd be assisting people to be as independent in the community as possible.

A suitable candidate would also need to have a valid Class 5 operator's license and have access to a reliable vehicle.

Not only does it pay well, but you also get a "Northern allowance" of $16,000 a year.

This job will have you hiring and recruiting nurses for the Nunavut government. This role requires the aforementioned experience, as well as a degree in business admin or a related program.
