Data from the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada and Statistics Canada were used to calculate lost-time claim rates per 100,000 employees by comparing accepted lost-time claims to labour force size. Quebec ranked highest at 2,609.54 claims per 100,000 with 124,123 lost-time claims in 2022, a 57% increase from 78,813. British Columbia followed at 2,095.96 per 100,000 with 62,294 claims, up 12%. Manitoba was third at 1,944.48 per 100,000 with 14,360 claims, up 10%. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia ranked fourth through eighth with respective rates and smaller year-over-year increases.
