FAQ
Is an online sick note valid for employers in Nanton?
Yes. Under Alberta Employment Standards, employers must accept sick notes from any licensed physician, including those issued via telehealth. MedLetter sick notes are signed by a CPSA-registered physician and include their license number, making them legally valid for all Nanton employers.

Most MedLetter sick notes are delivered within 1-4 hours. Since we operate online, there's no need to drive to Calgary (80 km away) or wait for a local appointment.
Do I need a family doctor in Nanton to get a sick note?
No. MedLetter doesn't require an existing family doctor. Many Nanton residents don't have a family physician due to the rural physician shortage. Our CPSA-registered physicians can issue sick notes without a prior patient relationship.
What conditions qualify for a sick note in Nanton?
Common conditions include cold/flu, stomach flu, migraine, back pain, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, minor injuries, menstrual pain, and insomnia. If your condition prevents you from working safely, you likely qualify.
How much does an online sick note cost for Nanton residents?

Can I get a retroactive sick note in Nanton?
Yes. MedLetter can issue retroactive sick notes for recent illness (typically within 3-5 days). This is especially helpful for Nanton residents who couldn't access a doctor during their illness.
