Canada Life Worker Fired Over Benefits Fraud Loses Discrimination Case

Moosa v. Canada Life

On May 15, 2026, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) found that Canada Life’s decision to fire a former licensing administrator over a benefits fraud investigation wasn’t discriminatory.

Vice-Chair Karen Mason explained in her ruling that Yhumna Moosa failed to:

• Provide clear, convincing, and cogent evidence supporting her allegations that Canada Life discriminated against her based on marital or family status.
• Prove that Canada Life didn’t properly accommodate her.
• Clearly outline the reprisal she faced for asserting her rights under the province’s Human Rights Code.

The HRTO didn’t assess whether Canada Life’s benefits fraud investigation reached the correct conclusion — only if the decision to fire Moosa was discriminatory.
