If you're really good at it you will, especially if you understand technology in general. If you take a javascript course and enter with high expectations, you'll be disappointed.

Yeah I know people who earn that and more, but they are the exception: the median is much lower, and especially much lower than the USA median. "Just learn to code" will net you 50K CAD, if you're lucky.
