Regulatory enrolment process (REP)

The Regulatory Enrolment Process (REP) facilitates the filing and processing of regulatory information related to:

  • company
  • dossier and product
  • regulatory activity
  • regulatory transaction

REP consists of web-based templates that capture information in a structured format. The REP templates replace existing Health Canada forms such as the HC-SC3011 drug submission application form and the human drug submission application fee form.

This process enables a move towards a common submission intake across product lines and allows Health Canada to:

  • receive a broader range of regulatory information via the Common Electronic Submission Gateway (CESG)
  • automate the import of regulatory transactions into its repositories
