Workers' compensation forms across Canada, board by board

Find your province's or territory's board and its first report, then the progress, functional abilities and therapy reports clinicians complete for it.

Canada has 12 workers' compensation boards: one in each province, Yukon's Workers' Safety and Compensation Board, and the WSCC, which serves the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Each board has its own first report for a work injury, such as WSIB Form 8 in Ontario, WorkSafeBC Form 8/11, WCB-Alberta's C050 and CNESST's Attestation médicale (1936) in Quebec. Progress reports, functional abilities forms and physiotherapy, chiropractic and psychology reports follow.

Who may complete the first report varies. WSIB Form 8 accepts a physician, nurse practitioner, chiropractor or physiotherapist, while WorkSafeBC has separate reports for physicians, NPs (8NP/11NP) and chiropractors (8C/11C). Electronic reporting often pays more: WSIB through TELUS Health, WorkSafeBC through Teleplan and WorkplaceNL through connect. WCB-Alberta requires electronic reporting of the C050. Vero Documents fills the PDF forms on this list from the visit note and the chart, and you review and sign.

How this list is checked

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

In Alberta, the C050 is due within two days when disability beyond the accident day is likely. WorkSafeBC's Form 8 is due within three business days when time off is possible or for injuries such as back injuries.

Who pays for a workers' compensation report?

In most provinces the board pays a fee for the physician's first report, including WSIB, WorkSafeBC, WCB-Alberta, WCB Saskatchewan, WCB Manitoba and CNESST. In Quebec you bill RAMQ using the code printed on the CNESST form, and in Nova Scotia physicians bill through MSI with WCB as the payee. WSIB, WorkSafeBC, WCB Saskatchewan and WorkplaceNL pay more when the report is submitted electronically.

Are workers' compensation forms available in French?

In Quebec, CNESST publishes its health professional forms in French only, citing the Charter of the French language. WSIB, WorkSafeNB and the WSCC publish most of their provider forms in both English and French, and the WSCC also has an Inuktitut forms page. The other boards' forms in this library are in English.
