Sorry if this is a silly question, but will these pay raises increase compensation for the incoming articling student class who are are starting in August?

Also, I know this has been asked, but are non-sisters who generally offer market compensation also matching with increases (not only mid-size firms, but also bay street litigation boutiques, management-side L&E, tax boutiques, etc)? 

Just bumping this. I'm a student from a lower-income family background with a high debt load, trying to financially plan 😅 

So, if anyone has some insider scoop on whether the major downtown firms are offering lockstep articling student pay increases, that would be really appreciated. Or if non-sister firms are also raising. Probably not, but I'm just curious. 🙂

I have heard that articling students from several of the seven sister firms have received the same small bump as junior associates (about 5k). Not sure about non-sister firms.

Kind of related, but I heard last year that bennett jones paid their students above market... does anyone know if that is true?

Does anyone know if the Montreal pay scale was also increased?

Yes, at least at some firms.
