Salary of a Brigadier-General in Canada
A Brigadier-General, who sits above the ranks of captain, major, and colonel, begins the role earning $18,565 (approximately N25,595,008) per month following promotion. That figure is not fixed, as the pay scale rises with every year the officer remains in the rank.
What Major-Generals and Lieutenant-Generals earn
Officers who climb further up the ladder to the rank of Major-General receive a noticeably higher starting salary. Upon promotion, a Major-General takes home $21,301 (approximately N29,366,836) in the first month, with annual increases built into the pay structure.
At the top of this breakdown sits the Lieutenant-General. An officer newly promoted to this rank earns $27,361 (approximately N37,721,789) per month, making it the highest starting salary among the three ranks covered. That amount also increases with years of service at the rank.
Beyond these three positions, the Canadian government website also lists the pay for Air Force pilots and other senior military personnel, giving a fuller picture of how the armed forces compensate those at the upper end of its hierarchy.
