Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement, engagement rates, themes, trajectories and favorite slots, across 202 Canadian creators. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Who are the most-followed LinkedIn creators in Canada?

Followers are what most lists rank by, so here they are: the ten biggest active accounts in our Canada dataset (10+ posts in the last 12 months, one in the last 60 days). This is the top of our data, not a census of every Canadian profile.

Accounts with fewer than 10 posts in 12 months, or none in the last 60 days, are left out by design, so public lists of the most-followed profiles can differ.

Six of the ten also make our top 20, and they are exactly its top six, in a different order. Our number one, Colby Kultgen, is second by followers; Dan Go, third by followers, ranks sixth.

The largest account, Zain Kahn, ranks 32nd with 101 median likes on 979k followers. The other three big accounts outside the top 20 are David McLean (#28, 111 median likes), Andriy Burkov (#45, 86) and Nidhi Nagori (#61, 60).

Which LinkedIn creators in Canada have the highest engagement rate?

Raw like counts favor whoever has the biggest crowd. Engagement rate corrects for that: median likes per post divided by followers (20k followers and over). Here is the cut:

Mandy Ross (#8), Sufyan Maan (#9) and Asim Khaliq (#11) sit in both cuts. Mansour Norouzi, an advertising director and Amazon seller, and Jeremy Bennett, a podcast host who interviews business leaders, come from outside the top 20. The five sit within 0.14 points of each other.

The top 20 itself runs from 1.50% (Jack Newton) down to 0.08% (Dan Go), a nearly 19-fold spread. Its three highest rates belong to its three accounts under 20k followers: Jack Newton, Dima Abu-Khaled and Rohan Pinto. For country-level benchmarks, see our LinkedIn engagement rate by country.

Which LinkedIn creator in Canada gets the most comments per post?

One last angle that rarely shows up in these lists: comments relative to likes. The record in our Canada pool belongs to Sanchit Shangari, #20 above, at 121 median comments against 129 median likes, nearly one comment for every like.

Jeremy Bennett follows almost level, and Dima Abu-Khaled (#18) is third (counting accounts with 100+ median likes). The typical top-20 creator gets one comment per five likes.

Where are Canada's LinkedIn-native creators?

Notice who leads this top 20: people whose subject is bigger than the platform.

• Coaches (career, business growth, body transformation)

• An executive advisor

• Founders of companies such as Clio, 1Kosmos and Magnate Ventures

• A recruiter, a professor and a wellness educator

To see how they compare beyond Canada, open our worldwide ranking of the top LinkedIn creators.

Canada's LinkedIn-native creators (the people who teach content, personal branding and growth on the platform itself) sit in the lower half: Sigute Zitikyte (#13) and Shreyaa Kapoor (#14).

We studied creators like these one data biography at a time, in our guide to the top LinkedIn creators to study, including Tobi Oluwole.

One timing note. Seventeen of these twenty post most often between 7 and 10 AM Eastern on a weekday, and ten of the twenty favor Monday. That is close to what works for ordinary accounts in Canada: weekday mornings from 8 to 11 AM ET, with Monday 11 AM first.

In Canada the top creators keep roughly the same clock as everyone else.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How we ranked Canada's top LinkedIn creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through the last 12 months of posts from 202 Canadian creators and ranked them by median likes per post.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked, a rule new in this edition. The method:

• Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 30 posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

• Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

• Posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

• Favorite slots: shown in Eastern time.

• Per creator: themes, yearly trajectories, writing fingerprints, engagement rates and conversation ratios.

Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any Canadian creator the way we just did (median engagement, engagement rate, themes, trajectory, slots) and benchmark your own profile against the country. The data on this page is the product.
