Note for Quebec
- The CNESST average above is the board average -- the per-UNIT construction classification rate changes frequently and lives in the CNESST 'Table des taux'; confirm the right unit with CNESST
As of 2026 -- not financial advice. These are AVERAGE rates; your actual premium depends on your industry classification and claims history. The WCB PEI average rate was not located and the CNESST per-unit construction rate changes frequently -- confirm both at source. Verify with each board's 2026 schedule.
