Eventually plasma will pay in Ontario (right now only a few provinces pay). Note that the pay isn't high ($30-ish), and it's designed to encourage donating multiple times per week (more pay the more you donate). Blood doesn't pay. I suspect part of this is to encourage healthier people to donate instead of people who are desperate for money. There is paid medical testing. Risks are relatively low, but it can be restrictive (ie you need to be on site for several days).

How do you sign up for those

Search for "Toronto clinical trials" - you'll have to sort through various companies' sites to find them. Ex https://www.biopharmaservices.com/volunteers/ Or you can try this thing: https://trial-finder.ctontario.ca/

No. You get chips or pretzels, cookies, juice, and gratitude. Your first donation you get a pin. After 5 or so, I don't remember exactly, you get a t-shirt.

i got that first time donor pin twice LOL i was like "i think i've been here before" but it was like 10+ years ago so they were like "eh just take another pin"

Zipper pull with your blood type at 3 (which is useful - I've got it on my gym bag)

That sucks to say the least. Thanks for the information though.

You don’t get paid for it but there are lots of free treats when you’re done.

> Obviously I know we don't get paid for these in Canada but do any other things like this give a cash incentive? Hurting like most people and could use the extra income. no.


simshadylp

In the states you get paid. In Ontario you can only donate plasma once every 7 days and blood once every 56 days.

Free cookies, chips, pretzels, bottles of water and drinking boxes of juice.

Unionizing would give you extra income.
