You can search for contractors, view their clearance status information, see their clearance letter and create a list of the contractors you use frequently under the Contractors tab.

Enter the contractor’s name or the first 9 numbers of their CRA business number and select Search. If you don’t know the contractor’s full name, enter as much as you can.

A list of all contractors that relate to the information you entered and that are known to the WCB will come up, along with their clearance status.

• Clear: Contractor has an account with WCB, is in good standing, and is responsible for their own coverage.

• Not Clear: Contractor has an account with WCB but does not have current active clearance. If you hire this contractor, you accept liability and will be charged the premium associated with their labour portion.

• Not Registered: Contractor does not have an account with WCB. If you hire this contractor, you accept liability and will be charged the premium associated with their labour portion.

You can also find your own clearance status under Policy Information in the WCB Account screen.

Select Add to Contractor List and that contractor will be added to the list of contractors whose status you wish to monitor. This could include your hired contractors or those you frequently hire.

When you add a contractor to your list, and enable alerts you will be automatically notified of any changes to their clearance status.

Alerts can be set by Contractor: When they are Enabled, you will receive a notification when a clearance status changes.

You can delete a contractor from your list by:

1. Going to Manage Contractor List

2. Selecting the contractor you want to remove from your list

3. Selecting Remove from List and Save Changes
