17. Fee Remission

17.1 Eligibility for Remission and Necessary Documentation

When applying for a fee remission, the necessary documentation must accompany the licence application. Failing to do so will result in the rejection of the fee remission application.

In order to be eligible for a remission, the anticipated gross revenue must be less than $100,000, and the full fee, as indicated in box 15.1 above, must be greater than 2.5% of the anticipated gross revenue from sales of the medical device in Canada during the fee verification period. For the purposes of fee remission, the fee verification period is the period beginning on the date that the medical device is first offered for sale in Canada and ending two years after that date.

Necessary Documentation:

  1. The applicant must provide a statement signed by the individual responsible for the applicant's financial affairs indicating that the anticipated gross revenue during the fee verification period is $100,000 or less, and certifying that the fee indicated in box 15.1 above is more than an amount equal to 2.5% of the anticipated gross revenue.
  2. The applicant must present information to establish that the applicable fee is greater than 2.5% of the anticipated gross revenue from sales of the medical device in Canada during the fee verification period. The information should provide an accurate measure of the current market situation for the proposed product. Information to support the anticipated revenue should include as a minimum:
    • marketing plan/product plan for the medical device;
    • sales history prior to product upgrades or sales history of similar products;
    • estimated market share (that is [i.e.], product's market potential compared to the total market for similar products in Canada);
    • average sale price and demand; and
    • comparison to similar products on the Canadian market or other similar markets (e.g., United States, European Union, etc.)

The calculation for the applicable fee following remission is as follows:

  • Anticipated gross revenue for this medical device during the fee verification period $CAN (A) (if amount is less than $100,000)
  • 2.5% of amount (A) = $ = Applicable fee

The payment must be included in the licence application.
