Application Fee
The application fee is $1,000.00 + GST.
Verification Fees
All applicants must undergo an initial on-site verification and subsequent supervision verifications on a regular basis (generally once per year). In many cases, the supervision verifications alternate each year between an on-site verification and a desktop-based records review. These checks are done by an independent auditor and will be charged at cost + 5% (administration fee).
The cost of verification varies depending on such things as the number of products to be licenced, the location of manufacturing facilities, type of verification (on-site or records review) and the preparedness of the applicant/licensee. An estimate will be given prior to the commencement of the verification.
