Does anyone work as an unlicensed architectural designer in Toronto? I moving there in the fall (within my company) and I’m curious if my offer is competitive. I have 6 years of experience, I’m licensed in NY but I would not be licensed there. What salary range should I fall within for commercial interiors at a larger firm?

Unlicensed staff with 6 years xp in USA is usually around $50k-60k USD, not sure about the Toronto markets as I am Illinois/Wisconsin. For reference I started out of school at $43k with my Masters in Arch and am now at $82k + $10k-18k bonuses depending on how company's profit share is. I'm now licensed at 10 years total xp (5 licensed), keep with it!

Your numbers are pretty low. Maybe staying at the same firm getting 3-5pc raises from your start of $43k adds to those numbers but people make $60k in Tennessee with a bachelor degree. Higher with masters. 10 years experience easily gets base pay above $120k

Also depending on why your company is moving it does seem $65k+ is a fair high end if you're already licensed in NY. As in why did the move happen, did the company close up shop in NY and say the only spot with a job was Toronto, or you asked to relocate maybe not worth the ask. But if the move was out of your control and you were licensed, I would expect to be compensated more as a licensed staff member. Good luck!

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Any recommendations?
