The Medical Cancellation Letter is a crucial document in Canadian healthcare practice that formally terminates the professional relationship between a healthcare provider and patient. It is used when a medical practice needs to end its services to a patient, whether due to practice closure, retirement, relocation, or other legitimate reasons. The document must strictly adhere to provincial healthcare regulations and professional guidelines established by the Provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons. It includes mandatory notice periods, detailed instructions for continuity of care, and information about medical records transfer.

The content and format may vary slightly by province, but core elements remain consistent across Canadian jurisdictions.
