This year workers will be calling in to the WSIB because many migrant injured workers are no longer here in Canada.

Key Points: 
  • This year workers will be calling in to the WSIB because many migrant injured workers are no longer here in Canada.
  • Following a workplace injury, many migrant injured workers are repatriated and forced to recover from their injuries back in their home country.
  • Once injured, many injured workers, and especially migrant injured workers, face difficulties with improper health care support as they recover from their workplace injury.
  • This practice of cutting benefits using fake wages by the WSIB makes injured workers feel disposable and drives many injured workers into poverty.
