Overnight restocking at IKEA Calgary pays $20.30 an hour, and the Québec City night warehouse shift adds a $4 premium to a $19.80 base. Store entry jobs start at $19.10 to $20.38, above the minimum wage in every province with an IKEA.
IKEA Canada counts more than 7,000 co-workers in 16 stores and 13 smaller Plan and order points, plus distribution centres such as the one in Beauharnois, Quebec. Its first compact store, about a fifth the size of the Burlington one, now trades in London, Ontario.

Applying to IKEA in Canada
Search the IKEA jobs site by city, open a posting and its Apply button takes you to the IKEA candidate portal. Most co-worker roles ask for about a year of experience, Customer Experience I asks for less, and the Coquitlam food team trains people who have none.
Warehouse and self-serve jobs mean moving boxes as heavy as 50 lb, and the Småland play area in Québec City needs a recent vulnerable sector check.
Québec City, Dartmouth and Boucherville post the most IKEA openings, ahead of Calgary, Etobicoke and London. Toronto job seekers can also try North York, the downtown store and Vaughan. Choose your nearest store and send your application before the posting closes.
