Calgary Healthcare Context
Calgary faces significant primary care shortages. Over 200,000 Calgary residents lack a family doctor, and walk-in clinic wait times average 3-5 hours. Many clinics stop accepting patients by mid-afternoon. The Sheldon Chumir and Peter Lougheed urgent care centres are consistently overcrowded.
Calgary is Alberta's largest city and Canada's energy capital. With a young, professional workforce concentrated in the energy sector, demand for medical documentation is high - particularly among shift workers, office professionals, and the large population of workers without family physicians.

Is an Online Sick Note Legal in Alberta?
Yes. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) recognizes virtual care as a legitimate form of medical practice.

MedLetter notes include the physician's full name, CPSA registration number, clinic address, and signature — meeting all requirements for employer acceptance.
