Medical technologists (also clinical or medical laboratory scientists) in the US can make anywhere from $40K to $70K annually. Salaries vary by region, experience, and position (laboratory managers and directors may make $80K+). To work in the US you'll need to be ASCP (American Society for Clinical Pathology) certified. You'll also need to verify that your degree/program is the equivalent of a BS degree in the US as you'll need a bachelors degree to sit for the ASCP exam. They'll also want to verify that the coursework you've completed covers the prerequisites. Check with ASCP for further details (see below). Check with CLMLS for information on qualifications in Canada.
