GLP-1 Prescriptions in Canada: Check If You Qualify Online

Last verified August 14, 2026

Yes — licensed Canadian clinicians can prescribe GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and generic semaglutide through an online visit. You complete a provider's health questionnaire, a physician or nurse practitioner reviews it, and if your application fits the provider's published intake criteria, your prescription is sent to a pharmacy. Availability depends on your province, and the visit and the medication are billed separately (verified 2026-08-14).

That's the short answer. GLP1Prescription.ca exists to map the rest of the path: who prescribes online, what each provider charges, which provinces each one covers, and what happens after you apply. Nothing here is medical advice — we document the process, and a licensed clinician always makes the actual decision. A good first step: check whether you can start an online visit. It takes about two minutes and asks nothing about your health.

How an online GLP-1 prescription works

Every provider dresses the journey differently, but the structure underneath is the same four steps.

Pick a provider licensed for your province. Coverage is the first gate: Felix’s GLP-1 line serves six provinces, Hims Canada says it is available in all ten, and Maple states its practitioners are available in every province and territory (verified 2026-08-14). The full rundown is on our providers page.
Complete the online intake. Expect identity verification plus questions about your health history, current medications, and height and weight. Answers are screened against the provider's published intake criteria.
A licensed clinician reviews your application. Depending on the platform, a physician or nurse practitioner assesses your file asynchronously, messages you follow-up questions, or books a video call.
If the clinician prescribes, the pharmacy takes over. With Felix, prescriptions come from licensed Canadian prescribers and the medication ships from its own pharmacy network at no separate shipping charge (verified 2026-08-14). With Maple, the dispensing pharmacy bills you for the medication directly (verified 2026-08-14). Some visits end without a prescription — the clinician's decision is always the final word.

What online providers charge

Three telehealth names anchor online GLP-1 prescribing in Canada, on three different province lists. The table sticks to commercial facts read off the providers' own published pages — what a visit costs, what the provider publishes for the medication itself, and provinces served. Two things it deliberately will not do: collapse a two-part bill into a single number, or print a province-specific figure as though it were national. The deeper comparison, including how each signup flow actually works, lives at our providers page.

Visit fees are what a provider charges to assess you; medication is billed separately, and per pen where a provider publishes per-pen pricing. Where a provider prices by province, the province is named in the cell. Figures a provider does not publish show as "Not published" with the provider's own reason (verified 2026-08-14).
Provider	Visit fees	Medication pricing	Provinces served
Felix (felixforyou.ca)	initial visit $0; follow-up visits $40 each (verified 2026-08-14)	Billed per pen, separately from visit fees, and escalating with dose: Semaglutide (generic) $149 (1 pen, 0.25mg) to $298 (2 pens, 1.5mg); Ozempic (brand) $149 (1 pen, 0.25mg) to $298 (2 pens, 1.5mg); Wegovy (brand) $374.82 per pen at every listed dose; Mounjaro (brand) $350.60 (1 pen, 2.5mg) to $501.88 (1 pen, 12.5mg). Felix states its prices range from $149 to $678 depending on the prescription (verified 2026-08-14). The provider also publishes pricing pages for Zepbound and Contrave, not enumerated here. Felix states these prices are for patients in Ontario, do not account for insurance coverage, and reflect the cost after the Patient Support Program discount is applied (verified 2026-08-14).	Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island. Six provinces for this line, per Felix’s own category-specific help-centre article (verified 2026-08-14). No territory is served, and Felix serves no line in Quebec. Felix’s own pages do not fully agree with each other here: the footer of its pricing pages lists eight provinces, but that is its general practice rather than this line. We publish the six because the help-centre article is the specific, dated statement about this category, and we re-check it before every update.
Maple (getmaple.ca)	In the rest of Canada: initial visit: not published (outside Quebec Maple sells access as a membership and publishes per-specialty visit pricing on its specialists page, and no single visit figure was verified — checked 2026-08-14); membership $85 per month. In Quebec: initial visit $210; membership $95 per month (verified 2026-08-14)	Not published by the provider — billed by the dispensing pharmacy. Maple states that any prescribed medications are an additional cost paid to the issuing pharmacy, and that the pharmacist calls the patient to take payment. Maple itself publishes no medication price (verified 2026-08-14).	All provinces. Maple states its practitioners are available in every province and territory (verified 2026-08-14). Its named Weight Medication Assessment specialty is available in all locations except Nova Scotia, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories — so Yukon is the only territory with a documented route for this specialty, and it is Maple’s.
Hims Canada (hims.ca)	initial visit from $39; follow-up visits $39–$99 each (verified 2026-08-14)	Not published. Hims publishes no medication price on its website by design, stating that the estimated cost per refill is shown during the online visit (verified 2026-08-14). Published alongside it: $12.99 pharmacy fill fee, charged on each refill.	All provinces. Hims states it is available in all Canadian provinces and names no territory anywhere on its FAQ or terms (verified 2026-08-14). That is silence, not exclusion — do not read it either way.

Visit fees are what you pay to be assessed. The medication is a separate bill, and its shape differs by provider: Felix publishes a per-pen price that rises with dose and carries Felix’s own conditions (its figures are for patients in Ontario, exclude insurance, and reflect the cost after its Patient Support Program discount); Hims Canada publishes no medication price on its website by design, stating the estimated cost per refill is shown during the online visit, and lists a $12.99 pharmacy fill fee on each refill; Maple’s medication is billed by the dispensing pharmacy rather than by Maple (all verified 2026-08-14). Current pharmacy prices live on our sister site — for example, Ozempic prices at glp1prices.ca. For the fee side of the ledger, our consultation-fees page breaks down every provider.

Province coverage: who can start where

Your province is the single most important fact about your path — it determines which providers can legally assess you and which prescriber types exist locally.

Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island — Felix’s weight-management line operates in all six, alongside Hims Canada and Maple (verified 2026-08-14). Province-specific rules and providers: Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia.
Quebec — Felix, this site’s one partnered provider, serves no line in Quebec (verified 2026-08-14). Maple does, at its own Quebec pricing: $210 for one virtual visit with a Quebec-licensed doctor, or a $95/month membership, both with practitioners working outside RAMQ (verified 2026-08-14). Hims Canada says it is available in all ten provinces (verified 2026-08-14). Whether any prescription is issued is always the clinician's decision. More on the Quebec picture: our Quebec page.
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador — outside Felix's GLP-1 line. Hims Canada says it is available in all ten provinces, and Maple states its practitioners are available in every province and territory, at an $85/month family membership outside Quebec (both verified 2026-08-14). One carve-out worth knowing: Maple lists its named Weight Medication Assessment specialty everywhere except Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories (verified 2026-08-14).
Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut — Felix serves no territory (verified 2026-08-14). Hims Canada says it is available in all Canadian provinces and names no territory anywhere, which is silence rather than exclusion (verified 2026-08-14). Maple states its practitioners are available in every province and territory, while listing its Weight Medication Assessment specialty everywhere except Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories (verified 2026-08-14). Net: Yukon is the one territory with a documented route for that specialty, and it is Maple’s.

Questions people ask before starting

Can I get a GLP-1 prescription entirely online in Canada?

Yes. Physicians and nurse practitioners licensed in your province can assess you through a telehealth platform and issue a prescription without an in-person appointment, provided your application fits the provider's published intake criteria. The clinician makes the final decision in every case.

Do I need a referral from a family doctor first?

The online providers compared here run their own intake: you apply directly through the provider's own questionnaire, and their clinicians review the application. We have not verified whether any of them requires a referral in particular circumstances. If you do have a family physician, raising it at a regular appointment is also a perfectly normal route.

How much does the consultation cost?

It depends on the provider, and none of the three prices it as a single number. Felix charges $0 for the initial visit and $40 for every follow-up visit. Hims Canada says its online visits start at $39, charged only if a clinician deems you eligible for care, with follow-ups from $39 up to $99. Maple sells an $85/month family membership outside Quebec, and inside Quebec a $210 single visit or a $95/month membership. All verified 2026-08-14, and none of them includes the medication.

Will starting a visit definitely end in a prescription?

No. You can start an online visit, and the provider's clinician makes the final decision after measuring your application against the provider's published intake criteria. Some applications are declined, and what a decline costs differs by provider. Felix’s initial visit is $0, so a first application puts no visit fee at risk, and Felix states it refunds this category’s visit fee where a patient is deemed clinically ineligible — which is what matters once the $40 follow-up rate applies. Hims Canada states it charges the visit fee only if you are deemed eligible, and releases the card pre-authorisation on a denied visit. Both verified 2026-08-14.

Which GLP-1 medications are prescription-only in Canada?

All of them. The GLP-1 receptor agonist class here includes Ozempic and Wegovy (both semaglutide, from Novo Nordisk), Mounjaro (tirzepatide, from Eli Lilly), and generic semaglutide — Health Canada has authorized at least four generic semaglutide product lines, among them Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories’ semaglutide injection (authorized 2026-04-28, reference product Ozempic), Apotex’s Apo-Semaglutide Injection (authorized 2026-05-01, reference product Ozempic), and Apotex’s Sevmia (authorized 2026-06-29, reference product Wegovy). Apo-Semaglutide is one example, not the only one. Each is prescription-only. What each provider offers differs, so start from the requirements page for your medication: Ozempic or Wegovy. The requirements hub lists every medication page on this site.
