Frequently Asked Questions
Is a virtual sick note valid in Ontario?
Yes. The CPSO fully supports virtual care, and Ontario employers are required to accept medical documentation from licensed physicians regardless of whether the assessment was conducted virtually or in-person.
How does a virtual sick note work?
You complete an online medical questionnaire. A CPSO-licensed physician reviews your submission and, if clinically appropriate, issues documentation. Some cases may require a brief audio or video call.
Do I need to be on camera for a virtual sick note?
Not necessarily. Many straightforward requests for short absences can be reviewed based on your written submission alone. The physician will contact you for a video or audio assessment only if clinically necessary.
Will my employer know my sick note was virtual?
Our documentation does not specify whether the assessment was virtual or in-person. It simply confirms that you were assessed by a licensed physician and that your absence was medically warranted.
Can I get a virtual sick note on weekends?
You can submit your request at any time. Requests are reviewed during business hours, with most same-day reviews for submissions before 3 PM ET Monday through Friday.
