Digital CFIA Services

As part of a targeted regulatory review, the CFIA has provided an update on its digital services. The CFIA has been digitalizing many of its services since its client-facing platform, MyCFIA, was launched in 2019. Since then, various CFIA services have been integrated into MyCFIA. This includes food licences, plant and animal import permits, pre-market approvals, and export certificates. To date, almost 27,000 companies use MyCFIA to interact with the CFIA. Additionally, over 144,000 service requests, such as applications for import permits and certificates, were received through the platform. It is expected that most of the CFIA’s services will be available through MyCFIA by 2025.
