FAQ
Is a virtual sick note valid in Alberta?
Yes. The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) recognizes virtual care as a legitimate form of medical practice. A sick note issued by a CPSA-registered physician through telemedicine is legally equivalent to one issued in-person.
Can my Alberta employer reject an online sick note?
No. Alberta employers cannot discriminate based on how medical documentation was obtained. A sick note from a licensed physician is valid regardless of whether the consultation was virtual or in-person.
How quickly can I get a sick note in Alberta?
Standard delivery is within 6 hours. Priority delivery (1-3 hours) is available when clinically appropriate for an additional $25.
Do I need to see a doctor in person for a sick note in Alberta?
Not for most common conditions. If your situation is straightforward (cold, flu, gastro, migraine, minor injury), a physician can review your information and issue documentation without an in-person visit.
What if I'm in a small town with no walk-in clinic?
MedLetter serves all of Alberta including rural communities. Whether you're in Banff, Canmore, Jasper, or anywhere else — you get the same service as someone in Calgary or Edmonton.
How much does a sick note cost near me in Alberta?
MedLetter charges $49 for a standard sick note. This is comparable to or less than many walk-in clinic fees, and you avoid the wait time and travel.
