IMPORTANT UPDATE: High-Risk Leave Forms for Members at Canada Post

Dear Sisters, Brothers, Friends:

Many members have been asking about the new form for high-risk as it is not available on the Intrapost site. Canada Life has not yet provided the new form to Canada Post. We will notify the Regions once it is available.

We have been working on this file consistently and have tried to get this important information out to members in a relevant timeframe. If you are as dissatisfied with the situation as we are, we encourage you to let Canada Post know! 

OLD FORM 

For members who have filled in the old form or need to use the old form: We have reached an agreement that Canada Post will ONLY receive the information that would have been provided on the new high-risk form.
