Ontario Northern Companion Guide: The Crossing

Thunder Bay, Kenora, Sioux Lookout. If the WSIB sends you to a specialist who isn't in your town, that's a highway day or a flight, and from Moosonee there's no road south at all.

The WSIB will reimburse a good deal of that travel, but they reimburse what you can document rather than what you remember. Writing it down the same evening takes a minute and saves you an argument later.

What's inside?

• Which door to knock on first in Ontario, and in what order. WSIB travel reimbursement, then Hope Air for the trips no road covers
• A travel log with room for the distance, whether someone had to come with you, and whether you stayed the night
• A costs and receipts page that adds up what getting to your own care has cost you
• A call log for every conversation with the WSIB, and a follow-up template so you can put it in writing afterward
• A daily recovery record, and a weekly check on what you can and can't do yet

How does it fit with your other guides?

Your National Workplace Injury Recovery Guide is where the day to day lives: symptoms, appointments, calls, costs. Your Ontario Workplace Injury Companion Guide carries the deadlines, the forms and the appeal route through WSIB reconsideration, then WSIAT. This one covers the travel, which up north tends to be the part that wears people down.

25 pages. Fillable PDF with 121 form fields, so you can type into it on a phone, a tablet or a computer, and it opens in any PDF reader. Instant download.
