Prospective homebuyers in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, Ontario, needed an annual income of over 200,000 Canadian dollars in 2023 to qualify for the average priced home. In Vancouver, this figure was approximately 237,000 Canadian dollars. British Columbia and Ontario, are Canada's most expensive provinces for housing. According to a January 2023 forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the housing market is expected to cool down in the next two years, which is likely to improve home affordability.

About Youth Job Connection

The development of the Youth Job Connection (YJC) was a part of the government’s reinvestment in the Ontario Youth Job Strategy. YJC aims to update employment and training programs and services. The program is more evidence-based, coordinated, and effective. The goal of the program is to help young people improve their skills and find a job.

The year-round YJC program is for individuals aged 15 to 29, that experience many and/or complex barriers to employment. The program provides support beyond traditional job search and placement opportunities.

Types of support include:

Paid pre-employment trainingJob matchingPaid job placementsHiring incentives for employersMentorship servicesWork transition supportTo be eligible for the YJC program, individuals must be:15 to 29 years old at the time of registrationA resident of OntarioEligible to work in CanadaUnemployedNot participating in full time training or education, as defined by the institution

YJC is delivered by a network of service providers at service delivery sites (SDS) across Ontario on behalf of the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD). The services provided by YJC are tailored to meet individual needs of each participant.

About YJC Service Provider Funding

Funding for YJC is provided through two budget categories: operating funds and flow-through funds.

1. Operating Funds are for the direct delivery of all of the components of YJC. Costs related to the provision of YJC that would be considered part of a service delivery site’s day-to-day operations include, but are not limited to:

   staff and management salaries;    hiring and training of staff
   

   (including professional development); marketing (signage, paper/web ads, outreach, etc.); facilities (rent); facilities (mortgage payments) ONLY the interest portion of a mortgage payment is allowed as an Operating cost; other direct operating expenditures related to the delivery YJC.

Service providers can apply a maximum of 20% of their operating funds for administrative overhead. For each participant, $2,000 is allocated to operating funds. Administrative overhead recognizes costs necessary for operating an organization but not directly associated with the delivery of the Youth Job Connection program. For example, a portion of the salaries and benefits of the Executive Direction, information technology (IT), or financial staff who work for an organization, but spend a portion of their time dedicated to administrative functions that support the program.

Note that Operating Funds cannot be used for termination and severance costs.

1. Financial Supports and Incentives include two types of “flow through” funding:

a) Employer placement incentives;

b) Individual employment and training supports.

Total financial supports and incentives are budgeted at an average of $4,600 per participant. The maximum allowed per participant is $7,500. This funding can be used for a combination of placement incentives for the employer, and employment and training supports for the individual. Only registered participants can access these funds. The financial and support incentives for the YJC funding include:

a. Employer Placement Incentives are available to employers to offset costs of temporary reductions in productivity, increased supervision requirements, and other expenses resulting from a job placement. These incentives are meant to encourage employers to hire and train participants for the negotiated placement duration. The amount of the incentive can be related to the cost of the participant’s wages and may cover 100 percent of the wages for the entire placement where it is identified that it will be required to meet the employment goals of a participant.

b. Training/Skills Enhancement Support include three categories of supports:

  Pre-Employment

Stipend Job Placement Support Training/Skills Enhancement Support

i. Pre-Employment Service Stipends are given to registered participants when they participate in pre-employment services. The pre-employment stipend will be no more than 90 hours at the current hourly minimum wage. For example, at an hourly minimum wage of $11.25 (current as of October 1, 2015), the pre-employment stipend will be no more than $1,012.50 per participant. Access to stipends are not linked to family or personal income levels. There is no requirement to use the Low Income Cut-off (LICO) threshold to determine access to these stipends. Access to stipends is not based on a cost reimbursement and is not meant to represent a basic living allowance.

ii. Job Placement Support is designed to remove barriers to young people participating in the placement. Examples of supports that can be covered include work clothing, equipment, childcare, and transportation costs. The maximum value for job placement support is $1000 per participant. Exceptions over the maximum limit are permitted for youth with disabilities. Access to these supports is not linked to family or personal income levels. There is no requirement to use the LICO threshold to determine access to these stipends.

iii. Training/Skills Enhancement Supports are available for skills enhancement or job-related training linked to the job placement. Not all participants will need these supports. This funding is only available for participants who need it to ensure job placement success.

About This Dataset

This data contains financial data on all service delivery sites that were contracted to deliver Youth Job Connection during the 2015/16 fiscal year. Specific data includes:

  Target Number of Participants    Original Funding Allocations    Revised Funding Allocations    Total Funding Received from MLTSD    Total Expenditures as Reported by the

Service Provider Total Expenditures Approved by MLTSD

Target Number of Participants: Two values are presented for this data element – the target for each service delivery site agreed to in the original agreement signed by the service provider and MLTSD, and the revised target from the most recent relevant agreement amendment agreed to by the service provider and MLTSD.

Original Funding Allocations: These values are presented for each of the two (operating and financial service incentives) budget lines, and are the values for each service delivery site agreed to in the original agreement signed by the service provider and MLTSD.

Revised Funding Allocations: These values are presented for each of the two (operating and financial service incentives) budget lines, and are the values for each service delivery site agreed to in the most recent relevant agreement amendment agreed to by the service provider and MLTSD.

Total Funding Received from MLTSD: This is the total amount of funding received by each service delivery site from MLTSD in the 2015/16 fiscal year. Funding is sent to service delivery sites monthly, with each payment being 1/12th of the total allocation for the fiscal year. If the total allocation is revised through an agreement amendment, the remaining monthly payments are prorated to account for the revision. The monthly payments to service delivery sites are not broken down by the two budget lines for YJC – thus the value in this dataset for total funding received includes both budget lines for the 2015/16 fiscal year.

Note that even after agreement amendments, the final monthly payments may be adjusted if it becomes apparent that the service delivery site will not expend its full allocation by the end of the fiscal year (i.e. by not meeting their participant target, by payments to employers for placements ending prematurely due to participants quitting, etc.). In these cases, the final monthly payments are adjusted based on an estimate of how much the service delivery site will not expend its full allocation. As a result, in these cases the Total Funding Received value will not equal the sum of the four Revised Allocations values. In addition, because these adjustments are estimates only, the Total Funding Received value may not equal the sum of Total Expenditure as Reported by the service provider if the estimates prove being incorrect. If the amount of funding a service provider received in a fiscal year differs from the amount of expenditures approved by MLTSD, the balance is either refunded to the service provider or deducted from monthly payments for the next fiscal year.

Total Expenditure as Reported by the Service Provider: After the conclusion of the 2015/16 fiscal year, each service delivery site reported to MLTSD the total of all expenditures it is claiming under the two budget lines.

Total Expenditure Approved by MLTSD: This value is the amount of each service delivery site’s expenditures (as reported by each service provider after the conclusion of the 2015/16 fiscal year) that were approved by MLTSD as claimable expenses under each of the budget lines.

The data outlined above is drawn from the following sources:

Contracts (including subsequent Amendments): These are binding legal documents signed by service providers and MLTSD, and include the following data elements:

The average mortgage payment in the large and mid-sized cities in Canada ranged between 1,300 Canadian dollars and 2,600 Canadian dollars. In the fourth quarter of the year, Vancouver topped the ranking, with homebuyers paying, on average, ***** Canadian dollars monthly. In Toronto, the average monthly scheduled mortgage payment was ***** Canadian dollars. Canada’s housing market House prices in Canada vary widely across the country. In 2023, the average sales price of detached single-family homes in Vancouver was nearly three times as expensive as the national average. Vancouver is undoubtedly considered the least affordable housing market: In 2023, the cost of buying a home with a **-year mortgage in Canada was approximately ** percent of the median household income, whereas in Vancouver, it was nearly *** percent. Development of house prices The development of house prices depends on multiple factors, such as availability on the market and demand. Since 2005, house prices in Canada have been continuously growing. According to the MSL composite house price index, 2021 measured the highest house price increase.

This table presents income shares, thresholds, tax shares, and total counts of individual Canadian tax filers, with a focus on high income individuals (95% income threshold, 99% threshold, etc.). Income thresholds are geography-specific; for example, the number of Nova Scotians in the top 1% will be calculated as the number of taxfiling Nova Scotians whose total income exceeded the 99% income threshold of Nova Scotian tax filers. Different definitions of income are available in the table namely market, total, and after-tax income, both with and without capital gains.
