Quebec Northern Companion Guide: The Crossing

Val-d'Or to Montreal is around six hours. If the CNESST books your assessment there, the appointment is the short part of the day.

The CNESST will reimburse a good deal of that travel, but they reimburse what you can document rather than what you remember. A minute of writing on the day beats an afternoon of reconstruction months later.

What's inside?

• Which door to knock on first in Quebec, and in what order. CNESST 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 CNESST, 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 Quebec Workplace Injury Companion Guide carries the deadlines, the forms and the appeal route through CNESST review, then the Tribunal administratif du travail. This one covers the travel, which up north tends to be the part that wears people down.
