International Regulatory Forums

Health Canada's Health Products and Food Branch (HPFB) has been pleased to host the visits of many international colleagues interested in learning about our regulatory processes. The HPFB International Regulatory Forum has been developed to provide a more efficient, integrated and sustainable approach to providing comprehensive information about HPFB's regulatory processes to our regulatory counterparts internationally. The Forum program addresses the Canadian regulation of health products throughout the pre- and post-market product life cycle, and continues to evolve over time to reflect the most common and relevant areas of interest to our international regulatory colleagues. To encourage open and interactive regulatory discussions, participation in the Forum is only open to Regulatory Agencies internationally. There is no cost to register for the Forum, however, all travel, accommodation and other costs related to attendance will be the responsibility of participants.
