September means new germs, new stress, and new documentation requirements. We've got you covered.
The first few weeks of school are notorious for illness. Kids bring home new viruses, parents catch them, and university students face the stress of a new semester. September and October consistently see spikes in sick note requests.
MedLetter serves both students and working parents during back-to-school season:
Alberta universities (U of C, U of A, MacEwan, Mount Royal, SAIT, NAIT) all accept medical documentation from licensed physicians for academic accommodations. MedLetter provides official accommodation letters that include the physician's CPSA registration number, recommended accommodations, and duration of impact.
When your child brings home a virus and you can't go to work, the last thing you want to do is drag yourself to a walk-in clinic. MedLetter lets you get your sick note from the couch while your kid naps. $49, delivered same day, widely accepted by Alberta employers.
Yes. MedLetter provides same-day sick notes from CPSA-registered physicians year-round, including during peak back-to-school periods when walk-in clinics are busiest.
MedLetter charges a flat $49 regardless of season. Walk-in clinics charge the same year-round ($20-$100) but wait times increase significantly during peak periods.
Yes. Walk-in clinic wait times in Alberta can double or triple during September, often exceeding 4-6 hours. Online services like MedLetter maintain same-day delivery regardless of demand.
It depends on your employer's policy. Many Alberta employers require a sick note for absences of 3+ days, or for absences adjacent to weekends/holidays. Check your workplace policy or employment contract.
New sick-note requests are temporarily paused while we review our service. We are not accepting new orders at this time.
