Only 1 in 13 remote jobs is open to people in Canada
On 21 October 2026, 3,393 of the 42,778 remote jobs listed on Remotejobify (8%) were open to people in Canada. How we check.
Today we read 42,778 open remote jobs, straight from companies’ own job boards, and checked who each one is actually open to. For people in Canada, most “remote” jobs are out of reach.
What we found
- Only 8% of remote jobs are open to people in Canada. That’s 3,393 of 42,778.
- About 1 in 3 only hire in the United States. 16,807 jobs, plus 572 more open to the US and just one or two other countries.
- Many more hire in a single other country. 15,206 are open in one country that isn’t Canada or the US.
- “Work from anywhere” is rare. Only 371 jobs, about 1 in 115, are open to anyone, anywhere.
- 1,453 jobs are open only to people in Canada. The rest of the 3,393 name Canada alongside other countries, or a region that includes it, such as North America.
- Pay is mostly hidden. Only 1,158 of the 3,393 show a salary, 568 of them in Canadian dollars.
- Some roles are more open than others. About 15% of product jobs are open to Canada, and 12% of engineering jobs, but only 5% of finance and legal ones.
- 739 companies are hiring people in Canada remotely. 326 of these jobs were posted in the past week.
What it means if you’re job hunting in Canada
- Check who a job is open to before you apply. Look for “must be based in the US” or “authorised to work in the United States” in the description.
- A salary in Canadian dollars, a North American time zone or “Canada” in the location are good signs.
- Or skip the checking: every job on Remotejobify has been read this way, and shows the line that proves it’s open to you.

How we counted
We read each job from the company’s own job board, including its location and description, and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to Canada if it names Canada, a region that includes it, like North America, or says you can work from anywhere. A job that doesn’t say counts as not open. These numbers are from today’s list, 21 October 2026, and change as jobs open and close.
