Yes, you will have to pay for a doctor’s note, as it is an uninsured service. Although the Ontario Medical Association guidance puts the typical fee at about $25 per note, it can vary between the clinics and telehealth platforms. For instance, with Your Doctors Online, the price per note is less than 25$ when you subscribe to a payment plan.
Ontario law now allows employees to take a few days (up to three sick days per year) off work without needing to give a doctor’s note. Many employers in Toronto and all the surrounding regions follow this rule, meaning you generally don’t need a note for minor short-term illnesses. It’s best to check your workplace’s policy.
No, you cannot get a valid sick note without seeing a licensed doctor. For a real sick note, it is important to consult a doctor, either by visiting them in person or virtually. If you need a quick note without waiting, consider getting a doctor’s note through Your Doctors Online.
Just be open and honest about how you’re feeling. Describe your symptoms and how they’re affecting your ability to work or study. Based on your symptoms, the doctor will decide if you should take time off. Remember, the goal is to make sure you rest and recover, so giving the doctor an accurate history helps them help you better.
Yes, if a doctor determines that your stomach bug prevents you from writing the exam, they can issue a medical note. The note will list the date of assessment and the period during which you are medically unfit for academic duties, and is generally accepted by GTA colleges and universities.
There is no fixed provincial limit. The doctor licensed in the Greater Toronto Area can certify whatever period they believe is medically necessary, from a few days to several months, and can indicate a review date if ongoing leave might be needed. We provide sick notes for short-term illnesses online. Extended time duration notes usually need an in-person visit.
Yes, an online doctor licensed in the Greater Toronto Area can refuse your request if they find it clinically unjustified. For example, you may not be issued a sick note if:
A real doctor’s note from us will be on official letterhead and include essential details. It will clearly state your name and the date of the consultation. It will confirm that the doctor assessed you and recommends that you be off work or school for some time. The note does not reveal your private medical details.
We cannot issue a medical note online for chest pain, suspected heart problems, or any condition that hasn’t been diagnosed in person. These symptoms must be evaluated urgently in a hospital setting before any documentation can be provided.
