Need a Sick Note Today in Ontario?
If you need a sick note today in Ontario, you're not alone. Over 2.2 million Ontarians don't have a family doctor, and walk-in clinics average 3-5 hour waits. MedLetter provides within 6 hours sick notes from CPSO-registered physicians entirely online — no clinic visit required.
Why Getting a Sick Note in Ontario Is So Hard
Ontario faces a healthcare access crisis that makes getting basic documentation extremely difficult:
- 2.2 million Ontarians lack a family doctor
- Walk-in clinics average 3-5 hour waits (some close before you're seen)
- Many clinics have switched to appointment-only (days/weeks wait)
- Virtual walk-in services like Maple charge $49-79 with longer wait times
- ER visits for a sick note are inappropriate and waste healthcare resources
- You're already sick — the last thing you need is hours in a waiting room
