Guide

Medical cannabis: register with Health Canada for personal or designated production

Obtain the medical document, choose personal or designated production, calculate site and amount, then wait for the certificate.

Priority

A prescription or medical document alone does not authorize production. Follow the address, limits, storage and municipal and housing rules.

Confirm the scope

Discuss the need with an authorized practitioner and obtain the original medical document showing daily amount and period of use.

Prepare the information

Choose personal production, a designated person or purchase from a licensed seller and confirm each person and site is eligible.

Complete the process

Complete the form and attach the original document, consents, photos and site information; keep a copy before sending.

Keep follow-up records

Wait for the certificate, follow plant or quantity limits, security and renewal, and report an address or producer change.
