Progress Therapeutics is a leading Importer of Record (IOR), and stands as a beacon of excellence in navigating the intricate and dynamic landscape of Canadian regulations. We have a deep understanding of the importance of our responsibilities as importer, to both the health of Canadians and success of your product in Canada. Our commitment to understanding and adapting to the evolving Regulatory framework ensures that our importation processes not only remain seamless but also strategically align with the nuanced requirements of the Canadian market.
Why Choose Progress Therapeutics as your Import Partner
We have expert knowledge of the Canadian Regulatory landscape:
We have a profound understanding of the multifaceted Canadian Drug and Food Regulations, shaping the importation and healthcare marketing domain. We recognize that being a successful importer demands more than surface-level compliance; it requires a deep comprehension of the intricacies of Health Canada’s Regulations and GMP requirements. To ensure this, Progress prioritizes continuous learning and adaptation to ensure that our operational strategies remain at the forefront of compliance with the Regulations.
We hold the Health Canada Licenses needed to import your products:
Leveraging our extensive operational proficiency within the Canadian market, we bring a wealth of experience to the table, addressing the diverse and ever-changing requirements of our valued customers. Serving as your dedicated gateway to importation in Canada, we proudly hold a Drug Establishment License (DEL) for the importation of both prescription and Over-the-Counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, a Site License (SL) for the importation of natural health products, and a Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) for the importation of medical devices.
This robust licensing arsenal empowers us to navigate the nuanced demands of the Canadian regulatory landscape with finesse, offering our clients tailored import solutions that align seamlessly with their unique needs. We recognize that each pharmaceutical product is unique, and our diverse licensing portfolio positions us as a versatile and adaptable IOR ready to address the intricacies of the Canadian healthcare environment.
We are committed to upholding GMP requirements:
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond the acquisition of licenses. We operate under the principle that the product we import must not only meet but consistently uphold all ongoing Health Canada Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements throughout their entire lifecycle in the Canadian market. Our meticulous approach ensures that the highest standards are maintained, instilling confidence not only in our clients but also in the regulatory bodies overseeing the regulated products imported by Health Canada. This attention to detail and constant improvement is not just something we owe to our clients, but something we owe to Canadian consumers, to ensure that they receive safe and effective products.
We adapt to our evolving client needs:
At Progress Therapeutics, we pride ourselves on being a flexible and dynamic company, ready to adapt to the continually evolving needs of our clients. As a trusted Importer of Record, our commitment extends beyond transactional services; we aspire to be a strategic partner, seamlessly integrating into your global and Canadian team. Our goal is to provide not just importation services but to enhance your overall business operations through a dynamic and synergistic partnership.
We navigate complexities with expertise:
Navigating the complexities of the Canadian Regulations is our expertise, allowing you to focus on the core aspects of your business with confidence and peace of mind. We understand that staying ahead in the healthcare industry requires not only compliance but also proactive measures to anticipate and adapt to changes. With our extensive knowledge, dedication to regulatory excellence, and a commitment to dynamic partnership, Progress Therapeutics stands as a strategic ally in the Canadian market, guiding companies through the intricate process of Canadian market access with precision and expertise.

For many organizations aiming to penetrate the Canadian market, the initiation and maintenance costs associated with the position of Importer of Record (IOR) can pose substantial risks. Not having an IOR can lead to serious legal and financial implications that include fines, penalties and even legal charges. Furthermore, your goods may be subject to seizure or delays at customs, translating to revenue losses and strained relationships with suppliers and customers. To mitigate these risks, it is imperative to enlist a trusted and experienced IOR to ensure compliance and safeguard against these adverse outcomes.

Benefits of Choosing Progress Therapeutics
Embark on a journey with Progress Therapeutics, where your goals align with our mission to redefine healthcare accessibility in Canada. Let us assist you in making a positive impact on the health landscape of Canada.
For many companies, global expansion of their product and brand is a primary objective of their growth strategy. Successfully accessing foreign markets with your product requires a great deal of capital and knowledge of the new market. These two issues are often the limiting factors for companies looking to expand.
Clients using Progress Therapeutics for their importer of Record activities do not incur the expenses of carrying a full-time staff for Quality, Regulatory, and Office Management. Our clients do not have the need to maintain a physical address, or Establishment Licence. In essence, Progress Therapeutics acts as an extension of your company in Canada.
Our clients gain access to our infrastructure, extensive regulatory knowledge and partnerships, at a fraction of the cost to maintain their own physical presence in Canada. Whether you are looking to form a long-term business relationship with Progress Therapeutics, or use our services during the New Drug Submission process, or until you have a foothold in the Canadian market, we look forward to assisting you with your expansion plans.
The repercussions of non-compliance are not merely financial but can extend to reputational damage. Since our inception, Progress has built a strong reputation around compliance. We will employ this same attention to detail and compliance when working with your organization and products to ensure we uphold your reputation, as well as our own.
We alleviate burdens associated with annual licensing, compliance procedures, and regulatory obligations. Progress offers our clients a strategic, cost-effective approach to navigating the complexities of the Canadian regulatory landscape. When you work with Progress you will not be subject to many of Health Canada’s yearly fees for licensing, the need to hold your own Canadian establishment, the requirement for Canadian Quality Assurance staff on site, and regular Health Canada inspections. This means you can achieve market access with less capital expenditure and ongoing costs.
Our proactive approach is designed to not only sidestep unnecessary delays and expenses but also to instill confidence in our clients, assuring them that Progress is not just a service provider, but a strategic partner deeply invested in the success of their endeavors. Our qualified staff will ensure that your products receive the attention needed to meet necessary deadlines, clear regulatory and quality hurdles and keep your products in stock and accessible to Canadians.
