Same Day Sick Note Alberta — Delivered in 1-4 Hours
When you're sick and your employer or school needs documentation today, waiting days for a family doctor appointment or hours at a walk-in clinic isn't an option.

Submit your request anytime — including evenings, nights, and weekends — and receive your signed medical document the same day. No video call, no phone call, no clinic visit required.
How Fast Is Same-Day Delivery?

When You Need a Sick Note Today
There are many situations where you need a sick note immediately — not tomorrow, not next week. Your employer called asking for documentation. You have a school deadline for a deferred exam application. You woke up sick before a shift and need to notify your employer with proof. Your workplace policy requires a note for any absence. Whatever the reason, MedLetter delivers same day, every time.
- Employer requesting documentation for today's absence
- School deadline for deferred exam application
- Called in sick and need proof before your next shift
- Workplace policy requires note for any absence
- Insurance claim deadline approaching
- Return-to-work clearance needed before tomorrow
- Short-term disability application deadline
Same Day vs Other Providers in Alberta
Not all providers can guarantee same-day delivery. Family doctors require appointments days or weeks in advance. Walk-in clinics require 3-5 hours of in-person waiting. Tia Health (free through Alberta Health Care) has wait times of days to weeks. Maple and Rocket Doctor offer same-day but require video calls that may not be available immediately. MedLetter is the only provider that guarantees same-day delivery without any call requirement.
Available 24/7 — Including Weekends and Holidays
Unlike walk-in clinics that close at 9pm or family doctors with Monday-Friday hours, MedLetter accepts submissions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Got sick on a Saturday night? Submit your request and have your note by Sunday morning. Need documentation on a holiday Monday? We've got you covered. Our physician team processes requests throughout the day and evening to ensure same-day delivery regardless of when you submit.
The Fastest Way to Get a Sick Note in Alberta
Here's exactly how fast the MedLetter process is: Open our website on your phone (30 seconds). Complete the health questionnaire (3-5 minutes). Submit payment of $49 (30 seconds). That's it — you're done in under 6 minutes. Then wait 1-4 hours for your signed note to arrive in your email. Compare that to driving to a walk-in clinic, waiting 3-5 hours, seeing the doctor for 5 minutes, and driving home. MedLetter saves you an entire half-day.
Same-Day Sick Notes for Alberta Students
Alberta post-secondary students often face tight deadlines for deferred exam applications. The University of Calgary requires medical documentation within 48 hours. The University of Alberta requires it within 2 business days. SAIT and NAIT have similar tight windows. MedLetter's same-day delivery ensures you never miss a deadline for academic accommodation.

Alberta Legal Context

MedLetter's same-day delivery ensures you always meet your employer's deadline. For students, most Alberta post-secondary institutions require documentation within 2-5 business days of the missed assessment.
