I have an English prescription is it possible to use here to get my medication

Question

I am currently in Quebec City (I am from the Uk) and my medication is delayed in the mail due to a cyber attack in England. I have my UK prescription is there anyway I can get my medication here with that? I’m not too sure if I have a walk in near me or even how to go about seeing a GP, I am here on a working visa is that something you could advise?

Hello Miss, I am sorry to read about your troubles! Unfortunately, only prescriptions written by a doctor licensed in Canada are legal here. You will have to visit a doctor at a walk-in clinic to obtain a prescription. Kind regards, Tom Samaha, pharmacist Given that you have no medicare #, it is not possible to use certain platforms like Rendez-vous Santé Québec unfortunately. You will have to use other types of platforms like Dialogue, Maple Health, Olive for an online consultation (paying services) or use a search engine to find clinics in your surrounding area.
