What’s in this collection

The CMHC October 2025 one-bedroom rent for a new tenant in the program’s area is 25% or less of gross monthly PGY-1 pay in its province.

A program is in or out of this collection by one comparison: the rent in its CMHC area against the gross PGY-1 pay of its province, both below. It is a filter on those two published figures. Programs are not ordered by rent.

A filter: a program is in or out. Programs in cities with no CMHC figure cannot be in it. Gross pay, not take-home.
