FOR COMPANIES OUTSIDE CANADA

Is Canada worth it? Here's what to expect.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT HERE

  1. Health Canada submission

    New drug submission and review

  2. Market authorization

    Notice of Compliance (NOC)

  3. HTA / reimbursement recommendation

    CDA-AMC · INESSS

  4. pCPA negotiation

    With participating public plans

  5. Jurisdictional agreements & listings

    Each plan makes its own funding decision

  6. Broader patient access

    Public and private coverage

HTA / reimbursement review can begin before market authorization is received

Running in parallel

  • Pricing and PMPRB requirements for patented medicines
  • Canadian importer / Drug Establishment Licence arrangements
  • Distribution and supply chain
  • Patient support
  • Pharmacovigilance / post-market responsibilities
  • Medical and commercial launch readiness

An EMA or FDA dossier is not a Health Canada dossier, and access does not begin at approval. You don’t need to build a full Canadian affiliate to enter the market. Arctava can help establish and coordinate the local operating model around your market authorization — bringing together regulatory, market access, commercialization, importer and distribution partners, patient services, and other required Canadian capabilities.

Specialist quality, pharmacovigilance, distribution and field capabilities can be delivered through qualified partners within the operating model.

WHY ARCTAVA

Enter Canada without building a full Canadian affiliate

  • An alternative to an affiliate or out-licensing

    You remain the Market Authorization Holder; we help establish and coordinate the Canadian operating model around your market authorization.

  • One accountable partner

    Regulatory, access, commercial and operational workstreams coordinated by one team, with specialist quality, pharmacovigilance, distribution and field capabilities delivered through qualified partners.

  • Health Canada strategy and submissions

    Regulatory strategy and pathway selection, NDS submissions, labeling negotiations and Canadian regulatory agent services.

  • A Market Entry Blueprint

    Opportunity assessment, route to market and a 3–5 year P&L, in a business case that supports the investment decision.

  • Access planned from day one

    Pricing, CDA-AMC and INESSS submissions and pCPA strategy planned alongside the regulatory filing, since reimbursement review can begin before approval.

  • Senior people, scaled to your needs

    Leaders with 25+ years of senior commercial and general management experience in Canadian pharma, scaled up or down as your needs change.
