A doctor, and lawyer, would be special circumstances of which most people are aware they do not have the right to secretly record.
I would, however, 100% be allowed to put my phone in my pocket and have it secretly record a conversation between myself and you. Canada is a one-party jurisdiction.

Public sector legislation bans recording folks without consent in Canada unless you are in public. If there is some sort of exclusion then usually its locked down around disclosing the recording.
I also thought if you're a business like uber under pipeda you need to disclose you're recording... They can't secretly record people.
I thought the only scenario where you can record someone without consent is if you're some random private citizen on your own time talking to another person actively engaged in the convo.
