No, primary teaching and skilled trades jobs in Canada do not have the same pay scale - skilled trades generally pay more.

- Primary School Teachers: Average salary is about $70,310/year. Entry-level starts near $52,916, while experienced teachers can earn up to $105,510.
- Skilled Trades Workers: Average salary is around $81,000/year. Entry-level positions start at approximately $63,000, with experienced workers earning up to $103,000.

Salary figures are typical and subject to change. Skilled trades roles tend to offer higher compensation than primary teaching positions in Canada.
