Additional Information
Normally, when the other jurisdiction assesses the workers while in their jurisdiction, the province where the employer is domiciled will waive assessment for these workers for that work (no double assessment). The injured worker can choose to claim compensation in either the province where the employer is located or the province where the injury occurs.
