GLP Compliance in Canada: Health Canada, OECD & International Standards

Canada has a well established regulatory framework for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) that is closely harmonised with international standards through the Organisation for Economic Co operation and Development (OECD). Health Canada requires that non clinical safety studies submitted in support of drug applications and submissions be conducted in accordance with GLP principles.

Key Regulatory Frameworks:

Studies that are considered to be core battery or pivotal as per ICH guidelines, Health Canada guidelines, or other international guidelines should be conducted under GLP conditions

Health Canada requires GLP recognition for both domestic and foreign sites

Canadian sites are expected to provide proof of inspection by the Standards Council of Canada

Certain non clinical studies may not need to adhere to GLP depending on the importance of the studies and whether any claims are made based on such studies

Regulatory Authority Framework Application
Health Canada Food and Drug Regulations Non clinical safety data for drug submissions
Health Canada GLP Policy Directive Sponsors submitting non clinical data in Clinical Trial Applications
OECD OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997) Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD)
Standards Council of Canada (SCC) GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority OECD recognised monitoring body

GLP Inspections, Compliance Risk & Training Records

What Happens When GLP Training Falls Short

Health Canada, through the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as the GLP Compliance Monitoring Authority, conducts inspections of test facilities to verify adherence to GLP principles. Inspection findings can have serious consequences:

Common Health Canada GLP inspection observations include:
  • Inadequate personnel training and documentation
  • Insufficient quality assurance oversight
  • Poor documentation practices and data integrity issues
  • Inadequate facilities and equipment maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs online GLP training accepted by Health Canada?

Yes. Health Canada does not mandate a specific training delivery format. What matters is that training is documented, role appropriate, and effective. Our 21 CFR Part 11 compliant certificates provide verifiable proof of training that Health Canada and SCC inspectors accept during inspections.

QWhat is the difference between the OECD Focused and FDA Focused GLP Internal Auditor courses?

The OECD Focused course is based on the OECD Principles of GLP (as revised in 1997), which are applicable internationally and are the basis for Health Canada's GLP requirements. The FDA Focused course is based on 21 CFR Part 58, which is specific to FDA requirements. Both courses provide comprehensive internal auditor training.

QWhat are the prerequisites for the GLP Internal Auditor courses?

Completion of basic GLP awareness training of at least four hours or equivalent on the job experience, and at least six months of experience in a nonclinical laboratory testing facility.

QDo you offer group discounts for Canadian companies?

Yes. We offer corporate and group enrollment options for teams of all sizes. Contact us for a custom quote.
