Experiences with obtaining online prescription in Canada

Sorry if this has already been asked.

I am wondering what the process is to get a prescription online in Canada and from what providers. Do you have to have a video appointment? Telephone appointment? Take pictures? Weigh yourself? I’d preferably not want to have a video appointment. I’d just like to fill out some criteria, have them fill out my insurance forms, and take it into a pharmacy instead of going through a whole rigmarole.

Thanks in advance!

I used Felix and it was very simple. No video call but I did have to submit pictures and a video. The Nurse Practitioner if approved orders blood work that you have to have done. They filled out the pre authorization for my insurance company.

It was all very easy.

Following. I was supposed to travel through Canada recently and tried to sign up for a remote appointment through a reputable office. They did phone or video calls. However, when I tried to enter my address, it gave the option for USA or CAN. I selected USA but it still asked for a province and then said my address didn’t match that province…. I’m going to give it another try.
