By certification, I'm a Power Engineer, though I fell into a project management job..
In Vancouver, 90% of our salaries range anywhere from 50k to 150k, the remaining 10% clearing 250k+ (chief engineers). It's all depending on the job. 50-100k being building maintenance, 80-150k being power plants, mills, refineries, etc.
I make... something in between 
Some of my friends up in Fort Mac are clearing 200k.
I considered going up there, but I have too much going on in Vancouver. Besides, I'm living pretty damn comfortably.

Job:Building Manager (mid-sized rental building)
Money: Average $75\door....I manage 6 buildings. You can estimate but its better than my previous career.
Pro: I work for myself and average less than 2 hours of work per day (no, I'm not kidding). I have a lot of freedom and the ability to be very flexible. Made some great friends. My owners are awesome. I have people working for me: landscapers, cleaners, etc.
Con: It is possible to have a middle of the night phone call for emergencies. Feels like I am babysitting some time. It can be very boring. People can be very gross.
Previous Job: Archaeologist
Money: $5-10K\month depending on location and length of project.
Pro: Playing science. Cool people. Using my brain. Discovering cool shit. Managing projects. Per diem. Technical report writing.
Con: Away from home a lot and usually staying in shitty motels in shitty towns (Spence's Bridge, Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Chase, Lytton, etc.). Hard-ass work: carrying gear up mountains, digging, being dirty, etc. Politics. Female to male ratio is not ideal.
Previous Job: Collection Officer (Parks Canada)
Money: $20-ish\hour
Pro: EVERYTHING...its the fucking Federal Gov't. Paid days off, work shops, field trips, insane per diem, super flexible
Con: Everything needs to be in French. Only a 14 month contract

Previous job: 1st Camera Assistant - Started in the $30's, but I averaged about $2400/week, depending on how hectic of a shooting schedule that particular AD decided to create. Loved a lot of the rules, especially the one about how you would start getting paid extra for every x-amount of minutes you were missing your scheduled lunch break. Bank adds up fast.  I may not like Unions very much but sometimes you just can't beat the deals they've included in contracts.

Most individuals would use RRSP and other deductibles to reduce their taxable income so it really depends on the person. Variables include dependants, donations, and employment status (contractor vs employee) and much more... Assuming there are no deductibles besides the 10k basic, an online tax calculator spewed out the following result:
Paycheck Calculator Result
Gross Pay $4,583.33
Federal Withholding $892.14
Provincial Withholding $368.40
Canada Pension Plan $219.66
Employment Insurance $86.17
Net Pay $3,016.96 (which is about 35% tax/cpp/ei)
Many of my coworkers are contractors and pay a tax rate of 15-20% on 100k+ earnings. They retain most of the money in their business and slowly take it out over time to minimize taxes paid. Certain costs can also be expensed which further reduces taxable income.
Calculation Based On | |

I.T. field.
Been in this industry since 2004.
No hardware. Just software, licensing and contracts.
I wont provide my pay. Thats just silly.
However, minimum pay is about 60k, up to 200k in a more management, director level. 100k if you have been in this for a few years.
Something to keep in mind out there.
There is a high demand for Licensing specialists.
