• The current declaration supplied by your program or training institution
• Your name, student or program details, and placement information requested
• Every acknowledgement, initial, signature, and date required by the form
• Every page, including instructions when the requirement asks for them

Read the declaration before signing. Ask the responsible program office about any statement you do not understand or any field that does not match your placement.

Current guidanceCopy Anchor Link

Ontario provides WSIB-funded or private insurance coverage for eligible students in approved postsecondary programs during qualifying unpaid work placements. Eligibility depends on the program, placement, authorization, and location described in the provincial guidance. Coverage generally runs from the placement start date through the end date.

Training institutions and placement employers have separate responsibilities. A signed declaration records the student's acknowledgement of the conditions; it does not by itself establish that every placement is eligible for coverage.
