Not for the three days of sick leave Ontario’s Employment Standards Act gives you each year. Since October 2024 your employer can ask for other reasonable proof, such as a statement you sign, but not a doctor’s note. Longer absences, and federally regulated jobs such as banks and airlines, follow different rules.

Usually, once the doctor has seen you and checked it still suits you; that visit is covered by OHIP. An Ontario pharmacy can’t fill a prescription written outside Canada, so bring it in and the doctor can write a Canadian one if it’s right for you.

From the fall, usually October, once Ontario releases that season’s vaccine. It’s free for anyone 6 months and older who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario. Pharmacies can’t give it to children under 2, so bring them here.

No. Since March 2025, Ontario screens with an HPV test instead: from age 25 if you’ve ever had sexual contact, every five years as long as the result is negative. The sample is taken the same way as a Pap test, OHIP covers it, and most people can stop after a negative test between 65 and 69.

Yes, for almost every specialist in Ontario: the doctor sees you first, the clinic sends the referral, and the specialist’s office usually contacts you with a date. A screening mammogram is the exception: if you’re 40 to 74 with no breast symptoms or history of breast cancer, book it yourself through the Ontario Breast Screening Program.

Yes, and vaccines on Ontario’s routine schedule are free. Doctors don’t report them to Peel Public Health, so report each dose yourself online: Peel suspended almost 9,000 students over out-of-date records in the 2025–26 school year.

Two visits: the test is placed on one, and read 48 to 72 hours later. Some schools and employers ask for a two-step test, which takes longer again — bring the letter saying what is required and ask the desk before you book, so there is time before your deadline.

Not from the clinic: the doctor shares your results only with you, and in Ontario there’s no minimum age to consent to your own care. By law, a positive result for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or HIV is reported to Peel Public Health, which keeps it confidential and can let partners know without naming you.
