A senior developer's range can go as long as 100-160 depending on how they grade the position internally and whether if they go above senior in grading (principal, staff, more artificial levels) If they price the role at the absolute bottom (100k) it's still technically within range.
Easy. There are public websites from our federal government to provide data on prevailing wages for any job in Canada.

National Job Bank:

Evo, any LMIA application through the TFW Program would have officers who assess the wage offer by looking at the hourly wage rate. You are talking about the annual salary. That's the wrong metric to use when the wage offer is assessed on an application.

The program requirements include assessing the wage factor of applications based on hourly wage. One of many factors that a Program Officer reviews as part of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application assessment.

Oh, just to give you and anyone on this thread some context, I am not a Program Officer of the TFW Program haha. I have a different job title in this federal government program.
