Medical documentation in Nova Scotia, without the wait
Nova Scotia's Medical Certificates for Employee Absence Act restricts employers from requiring a doctor's note until after 5 consecutive working days of absence or 2 prior absences within 12 months. With over 160,000 Nova Scotians previously on the Need a Family Practice Registry, accessing traditional walk-in care remains challenging in many areas. Canada Medical Notes connects you with a CPSNS-registered physician who delivers your documentation the same day, accepted by employers, universities, and insurers across Nova Scotia and all of Canada.
