Check If You Qualify for a GLP-1 Prescription in Canada
Whether you can get a GLP-1 prescription in Canada comes down to two different questions, and only the first one a website can answer. Can you start an online visit — is there a provider licensed for your province, and does your situation fit what they take on? And separately: will the reviewing clinician write the prescription? This check answers the first. The second is a licensed clinician's decision, made after they read your application, and nothing here anticipates it.
The check asks about your province, which medication you are interested in, whether this would be a new prescription or a renewal, and how you currently access a doctor. It asks nothing about your health — no weight, no height, no conditions, no free-text box — and stores nothing. Where intake criteria matter, we say whose they are and when we last checked that they are published, and we leave the thresholds themselves on the provider’s own pages for the reviewing clinician to apply.
The two-minute check
Five questions about where you live and where you are in the process. It asks nothing about your health, sends nothing anywhere, and stores nothing beyond your own browser tab.
Question 1 of 5
Which province or territory do you live in?
Online providers are licensed province by province, so this is the one answer that decides whether there is a route at all.
Nothing you selected was sent to a server or written to a database. There is no table for it — your answers live in this browser tab and disappear when you close it.
Check by medication
Same two-minute check, with the medication answer already filled in and the same province question first. Each page adds what is specific to that medication — which providers publish a price for it, in what shape, and where a provider publishes nothing at all:
- OzempicOne provider publishes a per-pen price for brand-name Ozempic; another publishes none at all.
- WegovyWhere BMI-based intake criteria actually enter the process — and who applies them.
- MounjaroTirzepatide is dispensed online and priced per pen — and there is still no generic in Canada.
Picking a medication changes none of the routing. Province is the only answer that decides whether an online visit can start, and the reviewing clinician decides everything after that.
Requirements by medication
Requirements differ by medication — which providers offer it, what each of them publishes for it, and how renewals run:
