How to add sale activities for a new cannabis class to your processing licence in Health Canada's Cannabis Tracking and Licensing System (CTLS).

On this page

This page will help processing licence holders add sale activities for:

This includes:

If you request sale activities for extracts or edibles, you'll be authorized to sell extracts, edibles and topicals. If you request sale activities for topical products, you'll only be authorized to sell topical products.

Important: If you don't fully produce the cannabis products at your site, you're still required to submit a request to add sales activities. In this case, Health Canada won't be able to assess how you maintain product quality and compliance through all processing steps. Health Canada might add conditions to your licence that will limit what you can sell.

For example, if another licence holder is processing the cannabis and packaging it into the immediate container on your behalf, Health Canada will only be able to assess your company's ability to carry out a limited number of steps involved in the production of the cannabis product, such as labeling and secondary packaging.

If you have any questions, email licensing-cannabis-licences@hc-sc.gc.ca. Use the subject line "Questions about adding sales activities to LIC-#".

Once you submit your request, Health Canada may inspect your site to verify compliance with the Cannabis Regulations (the Regulations).
