Frequently Asked Questions - SFC License Consultant in Victoria

Who needs a Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) License?
Most businesses that manufacture, process, treat, preserve, grade, package, label, or store food for interprovincial trade or export, or that import food into Canada, need an SFC License under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). Exemptions apply to some small-scale domestic food sellers.
What does an SFC License application require?
The application through CFIA's My CFIA portal requires: business information, activities description, commodity types, facility information, and - for most businesses - a written Preventive Control Plan (PCP). We prepare the complete application package.
How long does it take to obtain an SFC License?
CFIA processing times vary but typically range from 4-12 weeks after submission of a complete application. Incomplete applications face significant delays. Our consultants ensure first-time submission success by thoroughly preparing your PCP and application documents.
Do importers need an SFC License?
Yes. Food importers are among the categories most strictly regulated under SFCR. You need an SFC License for importing, your suppliers must meet Canadian food safety equivalency standards, and you need documented import controls. We specialize in importer compliance and licensing.
