Ajax may be a mid-sized community of around 127,000 people, but wait times to see a doctor can often exceed seven hours. During flu season, RSV outbreaks, or periods of heavy wildfire smoke, local clinics fill up fast, so even a simple sick note request can become a marathon when all you want is to rest.
Ontario’s recent legislation prevents employers from demanding a doctor’s note for short absences, but any illness lasting more than three days still requires formal documentation for work or school.
Our virtual walk-in clinic makes it easy. With an online consultation, you can avoid the waiting room and insurance hassles, connect with a licensed physician, and receive a fully compliant digital sick note anytime, from anywhere in Ajax.
