Guides de rétablissement par province et territoire

Read this page in English

In Canada, injury rules are provincial. So, where it happened pretty much dictates everything. Your benefits, your deadlines, your right to return to work, the body you appeal to and the time you have to do so.

Why the province changes everything

Two people with the same injury in two different provinces face completely different systems. Saskatchewan has no appeal deadline. Newfoundland and Labrador provides thirty. Alberta has abolished the right to be reinstated in one's job. Quebec protects it for up to two years.

None of this can be guessed from the injury. It can be read on the map.

Quebec, in French

Four pages in French cover Quebec. Two for road accidents and two for occupational injuries. Start with the guide that matches your situation, then keep the deadlines page as a reference.

Other provinces and territories

Our guides for the rest of Canada are currently only available in English. We state this frankly rather than letting you discover it after three clicks.

Each link below leads directly to your province's section, with the recovery guide and deadlines page, for both road accidents and occupational injuries.

What to do in the meantime

Start recording. The first few days contain evidence that cannot be recovered later. None of this depends on the province you are in.

Our First 72 Hours checklist and our Resource Center are in English. You'll find fillable notebooks for symptoms, appointments, expenses, and correspondence.

When you are ready for the complete file, the National Recovery Guide can be used anywhere in Canada and the Provincial Companion Guide gathers the deadlines, forms and remedies specific to your province.

Last checked: July 2026. Each linked page displays its own check date. We re-check them quarterly. If you find an error, write to Recovery@hurtsquare.ca and we will correct it publicly.
