Doctor's Notes in Canada, Assessed Online

A Canadian doctor's note starts with an online assessment, not a clinic visit. A licensed Canadian physician reviews it, and if a note is appropriate, it is issued to your account for you to submit to your employer or school.

Provincial Sick Leave Rules

Across Canada

Sick leave is not one national rule in Canada — it varies by province and territory and by employer policy. A note states your dates; check your employer's policy and your province's rules before you submit.

Licensed in Each Province

Provincial Regulators

Physicians are licensed province by province — the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, for example, is Ontario only. A Canadian note is reviewed by a licensed physician, not by one national board.

Work Notes, Not EI Claims

For Your Employer

A work note covers missed shifts on specific dates. An Employment Insurance sickness claim is a separate Service Canada process with its own requirements — a work note alone is not an EI claim.

School Notes in Canada

For Your Professor or School Office

A note for a missed class, lab, or assignment date in Canada, stating the dates you were unable to attend. Submit it through the method your professor or school office specifies.

Return Notes

For Your Employer or School

A note with a return date as assessed, for a return to work or school. Check any return conditions or forms your employer or school requires.

No Clinic to Visit

Online Assessment

This is an online service. There is no partnered clinic in your city to visit, and no walk-in visit is needed — complete the assessment online and the note is issued to your account if appropriate.

Canada-Wide, Online

Search the city list below for your city — the list is partial, and the service is online, so your city does not need a local clinic. If your employer or school requires its own form or an in-person visit, check their policy before you submit.

Work Note vs EI Sickness Claim

A work note covers missed shifts on specific dates. An Employment Insurance sickness claim is a separate Service Canada process with its own requirements — a work note alone is not an EI claim, so check Service Canada's requirements before you rely on it for benefits.

Separate Service Canada Process

What Your Employer or School Actually Sees

Your employer or school sees the note you submit — your name, the dates, and the return date — not your full medical history. Submit only the note, not extra personal details beyond what their form asks for.

Dates and Return Date Only

If Your Recipient Has Its Own Form

Some Canadian employers and schools require their own form, or an in-person visit, instead of a standard note. Check their form and submission method before you submit, so a note in the wrong format does not cost you a second trip.

Check Recipient Form First

Check the Note Before You Send It

Before you submit, check that the note lists your name, the dates, the clinician's name and credential, signature, and issue date. If anything is missing, ask support before submitting — do not send an incomplete note.

Name, Dates, Signature, Issue Date
