Four Canadian services will assess you for weight medication over video and, in two cases, ship the drug to your door. Their published prices differ by hundreds of dollars a month for the same molecule, and none of them publishes the number that actually matters — what you will pay in month six, at your maintenance dose. This page puts the figures each provider prints on its own website side by side, on one date, so the comparison is at least honest.
We are a directory. We do not prescribe, we do not dispense, and at the time of writing we have no commercial relationship with any provider below. If that changes, the links will be labelled as paid and this paragraph will say so.

Read the consultation fee and the drug price as two separate bills
Every Canadian provider on this page charges for clinical time and for the medication separately, even when the marketing collapses them into one number. A free or $99 assessment tells you almost nothing about the cost of treatment. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are the expense: at the doses most people end up on, the drug runs several hundred dollars a month indefinitely, because these are maintenance medications and stopping them usually means regaining weight. When you compare providers, compare the price of the dose you expect to be on after titration, not the starter dose that appears in the advertisement.
The second thing the headline price hides is the cost of the things a serious programme includes anyway — bloodwork, follow-up visits, and time with someone who can actually change your dose. A cheap assessment with no follow-up included is not cheaper than a more expensive one with follow-ups bundled; it is a different product.
Only some of these are pharmacies
Felix runs its own mail-order pharmacy, which is why it can print a per-pen price. Maple and TelePlus Care are clinical services: they assess and prescribe, then the prescription goes to a pharmacy you choose, at that pharmacy's price plus its dispensing fee. Neither model is better in principle. The integrated model gives you one predictable bill and one place to phone; the split model lets you shop dispensing fees, use a workplace plan's preferred pharmacy, and keep your medication history in one local file with everything else you take.
Provincial availability is not a formality
No provider on this list covers the entire country. Quebec is served by Maple but not by Felix or Phoenix. New Brunswick is served by Phoenix but not by Felix. The territories are served by none of them. Licensing is the reason: a clinician must be registered in the province where you are physically located at the time of the appointment, not where the company has its office. If you move, or spend half the year elsewhere, check that your prescriber is licensed where you will actually be.
What the public plans will and will not pay
Provincial drug plans in Canada do not routinely cover GLP-1 medications for weight management. Coverage that does exist is generally tied to type 2 diabetes, and in several provinces it requires a special-authority or exception-drug request submitted by the prescriber with documentation. Private workplace insurance is where most successful claims happen, and it varies plan to plan — some cover Wegovy under an obesity-management benefit, some exclude weight-loss drugs by name. Ask your insurer for the answer in writing before you commit, and see our notes on BMI thresholds in Canada for what the clinical criteria usually look like.
Provider by provider
Felix Health — Online prescriber + own mail-order pharmacy
Initial visit listed at $99, shown as free at the time of checking; follow-ups $40. Operates in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan. Felix is the closest thing Canada has to a full-stack version of the American telehealth model: the same company runs the intake, the prescriber network and the pharmacy that ships the pen. That is why its medication prices are printed on the website at all — most Canadian clinics send a prescription to whatever pharmacy you name and never quote a drug price. Read the full breakdown.
- Ozempic / generic semaglutide 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg — $149 per pen
- Generic semaglutide 1.5 mg — $298 for 2 pens
- Generic semaglutide 2 mg — $286 for 2 pens
- Wegovy, all doses — $374.82 per pen
- Mounjaro / Zepbound 2.5 mg — $350.60
- Mounjaro / Zepbound 5 mg — $364.04
- Mounjaro / Zepbound 7.5 and 10 mg — $413.55
- Mounjaro / Zepbound 12.5 and 15 mg — $501.88

Phoenix — Online prescriber, men's health platform
"Get Started for Free" — no separate assessment fee advertised. Operates in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan. Phoenix sells itself as a digital health clinic for men and bundles weight care with the other things men are least likely to book a clinic visit about — hair loss, erectile function, mental health. If you are a man who has been putting off the conversation, the intake is built around that reluctance. Read the full breakdown.
- Ozempic or generic semaglutide — from $124.99

Maple — General virtual care marketplace with a weight-medication assessment
Family membership listed at $85 per month; per-visit and specialist fees vary by province and specialist. Operates in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec.
Maple does not publish medication prices — it is not a pharmacy. Any prescription is filled at a pharmacy of your choosing, at that pharmacy's price.

TelePlus Care — Virtual clinic, assessment-first
$99 assessment. Operates in Canada-wide virtual care advertised; head office in Edmonton.
Medication is billed separately by the dispensing pharmacy; the site lists Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro as options where clinically appropriate but publishes no drug prices.

Warning signs when you are shopping online
- No named prescriber and no licence number. A legitimate Canadian service will tell you who is treating you and in which province they are registered. You can check that name against the provincial college's public register.
- Medication sold without an assessment. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription-only in Canada. A site that sells you a vial after a questionnaire and no clinician contact is not operating legally.
- Products with no Canadian DIN. Every drug authorised for sale in Canada carries a Drug Identification Number. Compounded or imported "semaglutide" sold without one has not been reviewed by Health Canada for safety, potency or sterility.
- Guaranteed results, or a specific number of pounds. No clinician can promise an outcome, and any marketing that does is telling you what the company is willing to say to close a sale.
- A subscription you cannot cancel in the app. Check the cancellation terms before the first charge, not after.
In-person care is still an option worth pricing
Virtual care is convenient and, for straightforward cases, entirely adequate. It is a poor fit when you have several conditions being managed at once, a long medication list, a history that needs a physical examination, or when you simply want the person adjusting your dose to be someone you can sit across from. Our online versus in-person comparison goes through that decision in detail, and the clinic directory lists services with a physical address.
Common questions
Which Canadian online weight-loss provider is cheapest?
On the prices published at the time of checking, Phoenix advertises the lowest entry price for semaglutide, but it treats men only and the figure is a starting dose. Felix publishes a full dose-by-dose price list, which makes it the only one of the four you can budget against for the dose you will actually reach. Maple and TelePlus Care do not publish medication prices at all, because they are not pharmacies — your cost there depends on the pharmacy that fills the prescription.
Can an online clinic in Canada prescribe Ozempic or Wegovy?
Yes, if the clinician is licensed in the province where you are located during the appointment. They will take a history, order bloodwork where needed, and decide whether a GLP-1 is appropriate. No Canadian provider can legally dispense these drugs without that assessment.
Is the medication included in the consultation fee?
No. Every provider on this page bills the clinical assessment and the medication separately. Treat the advertised assessment price as an entry fee, not as the cost of treatment.
Does provincial health insurance cover GLP-1 drugs for weight loss?
Generally no. Public coverage in Canada is tied to diabetes indications and usually requires a special-authority request from the prescriber. Private workplace plans are the more common route, and whether they pay depends on the individual plan's wording.
Are you paid by the providers listed here?
No. At the time this page was last built we had no affiliate or referral agreement with any provider on it, and outbound links carry no tracking. If that ever changes, the affected links will be marked as sponsored and the disclosure at the foot of the page will say so.
