Quick answer: the 14 packing, assembly and warehouse jobs hiring in Brampton and Mississauga in October 2026 are general labour, shipper-receiver, inventory, assembly, machine operator, material handler, picker-packer and walkie operator roles at TJX, Canadian Hospital Specialties, Van der Graaf, Maple Lodge Farms, Career1, Daybar Industries, Dexterra, Drive Products, Reizt and several agency-posted clients. Listed pay runs from $18 to $27 an hour, and the Job Bank Toronto Region median is $18.70 for packaging line workers and $21.00 for material handlers. Overtime starts after 44 hours in a week.
Brampton and Mississauga are home to a dense cluster of warehouses and plants, and October is when Q4 postings start to fill. We read live listings on agency sites and job boards in October 2026 and found a clear pattern: general labour, assembly, picker-packer and material-handler roles at roughly $18 to $24 an hour, many with day shifts, and a few permanent roles that can outlast the season.
An important honesty note: none of the listings we found was labelled a holiday kitting or gift-set job, and the only kitting-titled posting was a management role. These are packing, assembly and warehouse jobs in the Q4 ramp, so the title says that. Job boards show dates loosely, and some listings may be filled by the time you read this. Pay is quoted as listed, and anything below $17.95 predates the October 1, 2026 minimum wage increase to $17.95.

How We Built This List
We read staffing agency job boards for Mississauga, Indeed searches for Brampton packaging and picking roles, and Glassdoor searches for Brampton warehouse packer roles, and kept named employers or agencies with a Brampton or Mississauga location. We did not open individual employer postings or career pages, so we could not confirm requirements or application steps, and we do not name employers such as Amazon, Canadian Tire, Loblaw or Walmart as hiring in Brampton, because we could not verify specific roles. Use the linked search pages to find the current version of each listing.

More Brampton and Mississauga Roles Worth Checking
These listings did not make the main 14 because they are either less relevant or less certain, but they show how wide the Q4 hiring range is. One agency listing showed general labour with heavy lifting in Brampton at $17.95 an hour, which is exactly the new minimum wage. Another showed general labour pickers in Brampton at $18.40 to $19.00. CJR Wholesale Grocers listed freezer order pickers in Mississauga at $20 an hour from 1:30 to 10 p.m. A crown reach operator and RF picker role in Mississauga paid $21 an hour, and Martin Brower listed a warehouse worker in Brampton at $28.51 an hour. Two other agency listings, at $17.60 an hour, predate the minimum wage increase and should be treated as stale. A walk-in event on October 21 is also a sign that agencies are recruiting in bulk now.
Toronto Region Wage Data for Packing and Warehouse Roles (Job Bank)
Job Bank publishes Toronto Region ranges (which include Peel), updated November 19, 2025 from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey. Peel-only figures were not available.
| Occupation (NOC) | Low | Median | High | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material handlers (75101) | $17.95 | $21.00 | $29.00 | Job Bank |
| Assembly line general labourer (95109) | $17.95 | $18.70 | $23.06 | Job Bank |
| Packaging line worker (95109) | $17.95 | $18.70 | $23.06 | Job Bank |
Compare the listings to these medians. The agency general labour rates of $18.00 to $20.00 sit around the $18.70 median, while the Dexterra material handler rate of $20 to $22 is near the $21.00 median. A worker at the $18.70 median earns $748 for 40 hours; at $21.00, $840, a difference of $92 a week or about $552 over six weeks.
Your Rights as a Seasonal Warehouse or Packing Worker in Ontario
Minimum wage. The general minimum wage is $17.95 an hour from October 1, 2026. If a listing shows $17.60, ask for the current rate.
Overtime. Under the ESA overtime rules, overtime applies after 44 hours in a work week at 1.5 times your regular rate. Worked example: at $19.00 an hour, 48 hours earns 44 x $19.00 = $836 plus 4 x $28.50 = $114, a total of $950.
Public holidays. Christmas Day and Boxing Day are two of nine public holidays. Holiday pay is regular wages plus vacation pay in the four work weeks before the holiday week, divided by 20. If you agree to work, you choose either holiday pay plus 1.5 times for hours worked, or regular wages plus a substitute day off with holiday pay.
Agency workers. The ESA guide says an agency cannot charge you fees to become an employee, be assigned work or get resume and interview help. Agencies must hold a licence, and you can ask for the number. Assignments expected to last three months or more that end early require one week’s written notice or pay.
How to Get Hired Fast Before Black Friday
Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is Monday, November 30. Most holiday warehouse crews need to be trained by early November.

Ask each recruiter for the shift, the pay rate, the site address and the start date, and compare commute times before you say yes.
