I have personal disability insurance and group insurance at my current job and my employer has WSIB Insurance covering me. Why do I need this Workplace insurance as well?

Answer: That is good news that you have personal insurance. Everyone should. The problem is that your insurance as well as your group insurance benefits are unknown to the University. Your WSIB may only cover you while you are at your paying job. If you have other insurance or WSIB coverage at your practicum site, you must provide a “Letter of Confirmation of Coverage” from your site confirming that you are covered for your practicum time. Otherwise you must secure the Workplace Insurance coverage.
