Information On Research Licence Application For Cultivation Of Industrial Hemp


The guidance documents Guidance on Application for a Licence to Grow Hemp for Research Purposes and Guidance on Sampling and Analysis of delta-9 THC in Hemp are intended to assist you in providing the information necessary for an expedited review of the application to grow hemp under licence for research purposes.

It should be noted that all applications received are first screened to ensure that the necessary information has been provided. The application will be acknowledged within 7 days of receipt with requests for additional information, if necessary.

The research and security components of the application will be evaluated by an interdepartmental committee in the order in which the applications are received. It is very important to describe the proposed project and the methodology to be used to reach the objectives, as clearly as possible to avoid further requests for information on the project(s). Applications will only be assessed after all requested information has been received. A new queue date will be based on the date received.

The recommendations of the committee will determine the issuance of the research licence or its refusal. In the event of a refusal, a letter will be sent to the applicant with the reason(s) for the refusal. If the applicant decides to resubmit the project(s) with some modifications, the application will go through the same process.
