Clearance
WCB Nova Scotia clearance status indicates whether a company is in good standing, which means the company has coverage, has met payroll reporting requirements, and has no outstanding balance.
Our clearance process is now completely digital on MyAccount, and this includes clearance letters. To access all future clearance letters you need to be registered for MyAccount.
From MyAccount, you will be able to:
Save, print, and share clearance letters for both yourself and your subcontractors.
Search for and check clearance status of contractors.
Manage contractor lists.
See expiry date directly on the clearance letter. Accounts will remain in good standing for the full quarter, unless the account is closed.
