A dossier is a collection of all regulatory activities throughout the life cycle of a product for a stakeholder. The format of the Dossier Identifier (ID) is a lowercase letter followed by six (6) unique numbers.

If you already have a Dossier ID, then there is no need to request a new Dossier ID.. You can proceed with your transaction by completing the RT XML template. The Dossier ID should be known from previously issued acknowledgment letter. Dossier IDs for existing submissions filed with Health Canada can be obtained from the Drug Submission Tracking System - Industry Access (DSTS-IA). For information regarding DSTS-IA, or for account set up, please contact the Office of Submission and Intellectual Property by sending an e-mail to: client.information@hc -sc.gc.ca.
