Good to know
Will insurers, lawyers and doctors take this seriously?
Yes. Your guide is your own clear, dated record of what happened and how you are healing. It supports your file and your conversations rather than replacing official forms. A record kept steadily, from the first day, carries weight because it shows consistency over time.
Is this legal or medical advice?
No. Your guide is a documentation companion that helps you stay organized and remember the details that matter. For decisions about your treatment or your claim, speak with your clinician or your lawyer.
Are my records private?
Yes. What you write is yours. You keep your own copy, on your device or in print, and you decide who sees it and when.
Is it printable or only digital?
Both. Your guide is delivered digitally, and you can write in it on your device or print the pages you want to fill in by hand. Use whichever feels easier on a hard day.
Do I need the Companion Guide too?
Either National Recovery Guide works anywhere in Canada. Your provincial Companion Guide adds the specific rules, benefits and deadlines for the province where you were hurt, even if you live somewhere else. Many people keep both side by side.
Sources and verification
Where our dates come from.
Every deadline we publish is traced to a source you can read yourself: a statute, a regulation, or the board or tribunal that sets the timeline. All ten provinces and the three territories are on the register.
- Read at sourceA person opens the legislation and reads the sections cited. That is what the last verified date on a page records.
- Law in force onlyWe publish law in force, and law already passed with a confirmed start date. No bills, no proposals.
- Gaps published tooWhere we cannot confirm something, we say so on the page. Seven figures changed after one check in August 2026, and we published which ones.
