Not really, Canadian wages are much lower across the board, in every conceivable occupation, especially in the professions. You can't really compare Canada, or any country to America, which is the richest nation in the world. Naturally, our standard of living and wages are much lower. That argument could easily be used by, say, Norway.
However, Norway has a higher per capita income than the U.S.
If nations from Finland to Iceland are doing better economically than Canada, then Canada should examine their societal culture to see what is holding them back.

Your per capita GDP figures are unadjusted for price levels. Canada has one of the lowest cost-of-living indices in the Western world, meaning the relative standard of living here is actually higher than most nations above it on the GDP scale. Certainly higher than Finland, Norway and Brunei. I do believe Luxembourg is richer though.
