About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

British Columbia Jobs That Pay Over $50 an Hour

British Columbia (B.C.) continues to lead Canada in offering some of the highest-paying and in-demand jobs across diverse sectors, with many positions offering median hourly wages of over $50. For newcomers and permanent residents planning their careers, understanding the province’s labour market outlook is important, especially as B.C. prepares for nearly 1 million job openings by 2033.

This list by Immigration News Canada highlights jobs across seven economic regions in B.C., based on current data from the British Columbia Labour Market Outlook 2023. These include:

  • Coast and Vancouver Islands
  • Mainland/Southwest
  • Thompson-Okanagan
  • Northeast
  • North Coast and Nechako
  • Kootenay
  • Cariboo

The provincial government uses four key indicators to determine which roles are in demand: number of job openings, ease of employment now and in the future, unemployment rates, and current median wages.

Here are some high-paying and high-opportunity occupations that offer a median wage above $50/hour and are projected to remain in demand over the next decade:

Top In-Demand Jobs in B.C. Paying $50+/Hour

    • Job Openings: 3,370

These jobs span health care, tech, public administration, and engineering. These sectors are critical to B.C.’s economic growth and development.

What Makes These Jobs a Smart Choice?

The minimum wage in B.C. is $17.40/hour, the highest in Canada as of June 1, 2024. However, the jobs listed above offer wages 3x higher than this benchmark, making them highly attractive for skilled immigrants looking for stability and growth.

With an unemployment rate of 5.2%, B.C. currently enjoys the lowest jobless rate in Canada, well below the national average of 6.4% and Ontario’s 7%. This favourable job environment signals strong opportunities for both newcomers and Canadians.

Labour Market Outlook to 2033

According to the B.C. Labour Market Outlook 2023:

  • 998,000 job openings are projected between 2023 and 2033
  • 65% of these openings will replace retiring workers
  • Average annual job openings will represent 3.4% of total employment
  • Most jobs will require post-secondary education or training

This provides a roadmap for immigrants planning education or certification in Canada. Knowing which occupations offer strong wages and future demand can help applicants target provincial nomination programs (PNPs) more strategically.

What Immigrants Should Keep in Mind

Credential recognition remains a key hurdle, especially in regulated professions like medicine, law, and engineering. Many roles will require:

  • Canadian certification or licensing
  • Language proficiency in English
  • Industry experience and networking

However, sectors like tech and engineering are increasingly open to foreign-trained professionals, especially as companies face skill shortages.

Key Takeaway

British Columbia’s high-paying jobs reflect both the province’s economic strength and its need for skilled talent. From healthcare and public safety to engineering and IT, immigrants with the right qualifications can access some of the most lucrative career paths in Canada.

To support your journey, regularly check programs like the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) and review the NOC codes tied to in-demand jobs. By aligning your experience and training with the roles outlined above, you improve your chances of success in Canada’s competitive but rewarding labour market.
