What the platforms print
6 of the 9 platforms say something about pay; 4 print a single hourly floor or minimum in US dollars, and 1 prints different floors on different postings. Each platform's own figures, and whether its pages accept Canada, are on its row of the home table.
The Canadian wage benchmark
The Labour Force Survey for August 2026 reports average hourly wages among employees of $37.02 in Canadian dollars, up on a year earlier. That is an average across employees in every kind of job, not a wage for AI-training work.

Reading them side by side
A platform rate is per hour of project work, in the currency its page names, and comes with no promise of hours or of steady pay. The survey figure is what employees earned on average. Convert at the day's exchange rate before comparing the two, and read any gap as a rough guide, not a forecast.
