A national request grounded in the visit

What an online medical note can actually confirm

In supported provinces, an online request begins with a clinical assessment. A note may document an absence, functional limitations, or a return-to-work plan when the facts support it, but it cannot be backdated or promised before the visit.

The clinician may document

  • The date of the assessment
  • A clinically supported functional limitation
  • An appropriate absence period or return-to-work plan

Bring the form and dates — the decisions remain separate

Service Canada says an EI sickness-benefit application requires a certificate signed by the treating medical practitioner. Its INS5140 form or the practitioner’s own form may be used when the required information is present. The clinician decides only what they can attest to; Service Canada decides eligibility and may ask for the document.

$150 assessment, with no guaranteed document

The clinical consultation is $150 and tax-exempt. Separate administrative form-completion fees, when applicable, are taxable. Payment does not guarantee documentation, and the requesting organization decides whether to accept it.
