Talk to Canadian‑licensed doctors and nurse practitioners online and get a sick note from home in minutes, at the provider’s discretion. You’ll receive a secure digital copy of your note for work or school, complete with the doctor’s signature and direct contact details if your employer or school has questions.
When you need an online doctor’s note for work or school in Canada, start by telling us what’s going on and why you need the note in a short, secure form. You can then connect with a Canadian‑licensed doctor or nurse practitioner in minutes, all from home, and share any documents your employer or school requires.
Notes are issued only if the provider believes a medical note is appropriate for your situation, and some workplaces or schools may have their own rules about accepting virtual notes.
You’ll be matched with a Canadian‑licensed doctor or nurse practitioner who can assess your symptoms and decide if a note for work or school is appropriate. They’ll chat with you by secure text first, and may switch to audio or video if they need more details for the note.
Most providers can issue same‑day notes that are valid for short‑term illnesses like colds, flu, migraines, or minor injuries, but they may decline if your request doesn’t meet medical guidelines or your workplace’s policies. If they can’t help, your visit won’t start and you won’t be charged, and they’ll advise whether to see a family doctor, walk‑in clinic, or emergency department instead.
After your visit, you’ll receive a secure digital copy of your doctor’s note that you can download as a PDF and share with your employer or school. The note includes the provider’s name, signature, license details, and contact information so HR or administration can verify it if needed.
You can also request updated notes later on Ogaei if your symptoms continue, or book a follow‑up visit to adjust your return‑to‑work or return‑to‑school date based on the doctor or nurse practitioner’s recommendations.
A doctor’s note is a written statement from a licensed healthcare provider confirming that you’ve been assessed for an illness, injury, or medical condition and may need time off or modified duties for work or school.
Yes. Sick notes are never guaranteed; during your consultation, the doctor or nurse practitioner will review your situation and only issue a note if they believe it’s medically appropriate.
You can request a note through a virtual visit by describing your symptoms and why you need documentation, and the provider can issue a digital sick note if your case meets medical guidelines.
On Ogaei, there’s no extra fee for the note itself beyond your consultation, whereas many in‑person clinics charge an additional administrative fee for sick notes.
The length of your note—such as a single shift, a few days, or longer—depends on the doctor’s clinical judgment and what they feel is reasonable based on your condition.​
Doctors on Ogaei generally won’t issue notes for illnesses that happened in the distant past (more than about a week ago), and they cannot certify time off they didn’t reasonably assess.
Ogaei is a Canadian virtual‑care platform that connects you with licensed doctors and nurse practitioners online for sick notes, prescriptions, lab requisitions, referrals, and everyday medical care—often covered by OHIP for Ontario residents.
Yes. Ogaei uses secure, encrypted technology, and your consultations with Canadian‑licensed providers follow provincial privacy and professional standards.
Your notes, visit summaries, and prescriptions are stored in a secure account that you can access anytime, and you can download or share them as needed with employers or schools.
In many cases you can select from available doctors or nurse practitioners, or rebook with someone you’ve seen before if their schedule allows.
Most notes are issued shortly after your consultation and appear in your account as a downloadable PDF with the provider’s signature and contact details.
Often a detailed text‑based consultation is enough, but your provider might request an audio or video call if they need more information before issuing a note.
