Frequently Asked Questions
Can my Ontario employer require a medical sick note?
Under Ontario's ESA (as amended by Bill 148 and Working for Workers Act), employers cannot require a medical note for absences of 3 days or fewer using statutory sick leave. However, many employers still request them under company policy, and MedLetter can provide documentation if you choose to submit one.
Is a medical sick note from MedLetter valid in Ontario?
Yes. MedLetter medical sick notes are issued by CPSO-licensed physicians and meet all Ontario legal requirements. The CPSO recognizes virtual care as a legitimate form of medical practice.
What does a medical sick note include?
Your medical sick note confirms: physician assessment, dates of absence, expected return date, and physician credentials (name, CPSO number, signature). It does not disclose your diagnosis to your employer.
How fast can I get a medical sick note in Ontario?
MedLetter delivers same day. Complete a 5-minute questionnaire and receive your signed medical sick note within 2-4 hours. Available for submission 24/7.
Do I need a family doctor for a medical sick note?
No. Over 2.2 million Ontarians lack a family doctor. MedLetter provides access to CPSO-licensed physicians without requiring an existing doctor-patient relationship.
