How It Works – Simple 3-Step Process
What Is a Sick Leave Note and Why Do You Need One?
A sick leave note — also called a doctor's note for work or a medical absence certificate — is an official document signed by a licensed physician confirming that you were unable to attend work due to illness or injury. Most Canadian employers and HR departments require one whenever an employee takes more than one or two consecutive days off due to health reasons. Without it, your absence may be recorded as unauthorized, or your pay may be deducted.
At Canada Medical Notes, all sick leave notes are prepared by licensed Canadian physicians and delivered to your inbox the same day you request them. You never need to visit a walk-in clinic, wait in a waiting room, or take time off just to get your documentation. Our notes include the physician's full name, license number, and professional letterhead — everything your HR department needs.
Who Needs a Sick Leave Note in Canada?
Canadian employees across every industry and province may be asked to provide a medical note for a workplace absence. You are most likely to need one if:
You have been absent from work for two or more consecutive days due to illness
Your employer's policy requires documentation for any sick day regardless of duration
You are requesting short-term disability or sick pay from your benefits plan
You work in a regulated industry such as healthcare, education, or government
You are applying for an Employment Insurance (EI) medical benefit
Provincial rules on when an employer can legally demand a note vary. Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec have recently restricted employer demands for short-term absences. However, your employer's internal HR policy may still require one. Our medical certificates page covers extended absence documentation and return-to-work clearance if your situation requires something more formal than a sick note.
What Your Sick Leave Note Includes
Every sick leave note we issue contains:
-
Physician's full legal name and provincial license number
-
Date of virtual consultation and date of the note
-
Duration of recommended absence (e.g., "advised rest for 2 days")
-
Official clinic letterhead and physician signature
-
Contact details for employer verification if required
The note is delivered as a PDF to your registered email address, formatted to meet the documentation standards accepted by Canadian employers, schools, and government bodies from Vancouver to Halifax.
