In BC, workers are entitled to 5 days of paid sick leave (plus three unpaid) and an employer may request “reasonably sufficient proof” of illness, which can include documentation. Local post-secondary institutions, such as Selkirk College campuses in Nelson/Castlegar, also require medical documentation for academic accommodations or deferrals.

An online doctor’s note allows residents to take a short-term leave and stay home. This is especially useful for managing symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and COPD during regional outbreaks. An online doctor in Central Kootenay helps workers and students avoid unnecessary travel and exposure when they are sick.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a doctor’s note online 24/7 with Your Doctors Online?

About YDO

What is Your Doctors Online?

Your Doctors Online is a 24/7 virtual walk-in clinic offering instant, on-demand access to licensed Canadian doctors without requiring you to book an appointment. Through our user-friendly platform, you can ask a doctor online via chat, phone, or video and receive diagnoses, prescriptions, lab requisitions, specialist referrals, or sick notes in minutes. We eliminate traditional clinic wait times and deliver urgent care remotely across cities and provinces.

Is virtual care from Your Doctors Online right for my medical issue?

If you’re dealing with non-urgent or routine health concerns such as colds, UTIs, skin issues, mental health, or chronic follow-ups, Your Doctors Online is an ideal choice. Our 24-hour doctors will assess your symptoms and determine if virtual care is appropriate or recommend an in-person evaluation when required. It’s an efficient alternative to in-person visits, providing rapid, personalized care when and where you need it.

What do I need for my virtual appointment?

You just need a stable internet connection and a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. During your consultation, you’ll complete a quick photo ID check and submit basic medical history or symptoms.

I searched 'online doctor' and found you. Why is Your Doctors Online the best choice here?

Your Doctors Online stands out because it offers on-demand care 24/7 without appointments and instantly connects you to licensed Canadian doctors. Whether you need a prescription, a sick note, or mental health support, you can get care within 5 minutes. Unlike other telehealth services, we are available across your province and beyond, including rural, remote, or urban areas. For busy residents or those without a family doctor, our virtual clinic is a reliable, convenient, and accessible option with consistently high patient satisfaction.

Can I use Your Doctors Online if I'm travelling outside?

Yes, as a Canadian resident, you can access YDO from across provinces or even while travelling abroad, provided you’re still physically located within Canada. Doctors remain licensed in the provinces where they provide care, and virtual consultations continue uninterrupted for continuity of care. Prescriptions and referrals may have provincial restrictions if you’re outside your home province, but medical advice and virtual support remain fully available.

Telehealth Services

Can I choose the doctor I want to see?

Your Doctors Online’s focus is on delivering instant virtual consultations, so we don’t offer guaranteed scheduling with a specific doctor to keep wait times low. You’re always seen within minutes of requesting care. For follow-up visits, you’re welcome to request the same clinician you saw previously.

Can I get a referral to see a specialist?

If your virtual consultation indicates the need for specialist care, our licensed doctors can issue referrals to specialists covered by MSP. You can then use these to book an appointment with a local specialist under your provincial healthcare system or pursue private care where permitted.

What specialists can I see with Your Doctors Online?

You can get referrals from primary care doctors to a range of MSP-covered specialists, such as dermatologists, cardiologists, neurologists, OB‑GYNs, or endocrinologists, based on your symptoms. You can get insurance-covered specialists’ referrals within minutes.

Privacy and confidentiality

How is my personal health information kept private?

We comply with Canada’s privacy regulations, including PHIPA and PIPEDA, using bank-level encryption, secure servers, and two-factor authentication to protect your data. Access to patient records is limited to authorized clinicians, and consultations happen in secure, private environments. We follow provincial virtual care standards and regularly assess our platform for safety and compliance.

Is Your Doctors Online a safe and legitimate medical service?

Your Doctors Online is a trusted telehealth provider where care is delivered by licensed Canadian doctors who follow the same professional standards as in-person clinics. Our platform meets regulatory requirements, patients’ privacy laws, and adheres to virtual care guidelines from Canadian medical authorities. With no appointment wait times, you get reliable, safe, and effective medical consultations online anytime.
