I been on WSIB from Jan 2025 and now on gradual return to work with permanent modified duties, I've been employed with the same company since 1986, my shift before the injury was 6am til 2pm my question is does the company have to give me that shift back or can they put me on a 11am til 7pm shift.

Your employer has an obligation to return you to your original position/shift if it is available. If it is no longer available, your employer must return you to a comparable position/shift unless your medical restrictions prevent you from working a different shift. You may have a claim for constructive dismissal if your employer changes your shift, so if this occurs please contact us at the number below so that a lawyer can better assess your case.
