Gathering What You Need for WSIB Online Access
- To begin using WSIB eServices, you will need a valid email address for registration.
- For businesses looking to register or manage an account, prepare details like your legal company name, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) business number, contact information (mailing, email, phone, website), and a description of your business activities.
- You'll also need information about your employees, such as the date the first employee was hired and the total number of employees, along with estimated payroll information (insurable earnings) for the current year.
- Individuals with a claim might need specific claim details or personal identifiers during the setup process to verify their identity.
- Ensure you have access to a reliable internet connection and a compatible web browser with cookies enabled for optimal performance of the digital portal.
Navigating to Your WSIB Online Account
- Start by visiting the official WSIB website at wsib.ca and locate the 'Log in' button, usually found in the top right corner.
- From the dropdown menu, select the option that best describes your role: 'Businesses', 'Injured or ill people', 'Health care providers', or 'Representatives and others'.
- Enter your registered email address and your password into the designated fields on the login page.
- If it's your first time logging in or if prompted, you will need to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This involves providing a phone number to receive a verification code via text or call, or setting up an authenticator app.
- Enter the verification code sent to your registered email or phone to complete the authentication process and gain secure access to your WSIB eServices account.

When You Can't Enter Your WSIB Online Account
⚠️ Forgot your password?
Cause: You cannot recall your login credentials for your digital portal.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. On the login page, simply click the 'Forgot password?' link. Follow the instructions to reset your password, which typically involves verifying your identity through your registered email or phone number.
⚠️ Cannot sign in to your online account.
Cause: Issues like browser settings or cached data might be preventing successful authentication.
Solution: First, try clearing your web browser's cache and cookies. You might also try using a different web browser to rule out browser-specific problems. Ensure that cookies and third-party cookies are enabled in your browser settings, as these are necessary for the WSIB eServices platform to function correctly. If problems persist, contact eServices Support.
⚠️ Didn't receive a multi-factor authentication (MFA) verification code.
Cause: The code might be delayed, or your phone settings are blocking the message/call.
Solution: Check your phone's settings to ensure it allows calls or texts from unknown numbers. Verify that the phone number registered for MFA is correct and does not include an extension. If the number is wrong, select 'use a different phone number' to update it. You can also try switching between text message and phone call options for receiving the code. If all else fails, reach out to customer support for assistance.

Common Queries About WSIB Online Services Answered
Q: Does updating information in my profile change the information on my WSIB account?
No. When you update personal information like your phone number within your online services profile, it does not automatically update the information on your official WSIB account file. You can update your address online. For other critical account file updates, you will need to contact the WSIB directly.
Q: Can my business have more than one Business Safety Portal account?
A WSIB-registered business is entitled to one Business Safety Portal account per WSIB account number. However, once signed up, you have the flexibility to add multiple administrators to that single Business Safety Portal account, allowing various team members to manage it.
Q: Can I submit account documents if I don't have an account number?
Yes, you can submit account-related documents even if you are an independent operator or do not yet have a WSIB account number. Look for the option to submit documents without an account number from the business home page, typically requiring your phone number for submission.
Q: How do I sign up for WSIB eServices?
To sign up, go to the WSIB homepage and select 'Sign up'. You'll then choose your user type (e.g., business or injured/ill person), enter your email, agree to terms, get a verification code, create a strong password, and add personal information. Multi-factor authentication setup will also be part of this process.
