Canada's Workers Compensation Systems

It is important to note that Canada's workers compensation system is currently provincal or territorial.
More importantly, Canada does Not have a federal workers compensation system.
While there is no national workers compensation system, workers who fall under federal jurisdiction are to use the provincial or territorial workers compensation system.
In cases where workers work out of country, those workers are to be insured through private insurance.
There is a sub navigation above bar for each province and territory's WCB/WSIB/WorkSafe.
On each of the pages, I have provided information for that respective provincial or territorial’s workers compensation system in that region.
The workers compensation systems across Canada are vastly different from each other. This is for no reason. The only thing possible reason is that they are are driven by politics and politics alone.
For example, the names vary across Canada. Some still use the traditional name for their board being, the Workers Compensation Board – WCB. However, a few changed their name and use WorkSafe, while in Ontario, "Typical Ontario", they have to be unique, or more accurately "difficult" and use the name the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board - WSIB.
It is important that all injured workers across Canada become familiar with all the different systems. This is because when asking for something and they reply with that is just the way we do it here. Then you can say Oh really, but in ...... they do it this way. Also another important reason to be familiar with all of Canada’s workers compensation systems is that many injured workers live in one province/territory and work for an employer in another.
While there is no federal workers compensaion board or system,
there is a federal non profit organization that speaks for all the compensation boards across Canada, or more acurately lobbies for them!

Please do not threaten violence or harm on social media, as you could be charged with a criminal offence.
Instead, be better than them, by showing them violence and forcing people to do something against their ability is not the way!
