Sick Note Near Me — Ontario
Ontario's walk-in clinic wait times are the longest in Canada. Get a physician-reviewed sick note delivered to your email within 6 hours — no waiting room required.
Under Ontario's ESA, employees are entitled to 3 unpaid sick days per year without requiring a medical note. However, employers may request documentation for absences beyond these 3 days, or when company policy requires it. Many Ontario employers still request notes for shorter absences — MedLetter provides compliant documentation for these situations.

FAQ
Is a virtual sick note valid in Ontario?
Yes. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) fully supports virtual care. A sick note issued by a CPSO-registered physician through telemedicine is legally equivalent to one issued in-person.
Can my Ontario employer reject an online sick note?
No. Under Ontario law, employers cannot discriminate based on how medical documentation was obtained. A note from a licensed Ontario physician is valid regardless of the consultation method.
Do I need a sick note for 1 day in Ontario?
Under the ESA, employers cannot require a medical note for the first 3 sick days per year. However, if your employer's policy requires it or you've used your 3 days, MedLetter can provide documentation.
How much does a sick note cost in Ontario?
MedLetter charges $49 for a standard sick note. Many Ontario walk-in clinics charge $20-40 for the note itself, plus you lose hours waiting. MedLetter saves you time.
Can I get a sick note in Ontario without OHIP?
Yes. MedLetter does not require OHIP coverage. Whether you're waiting for OHIP eligibility, are a newcomer, or have private insurance — we can provide documentation.
