Frequently asked questions

How fast can you file my CNF?

Screening results within 48 hours of receiving your complete formulation; most notifications are filed the same week. The law requires notification within 10 days of first sale in Canada — we track the deadline for you.

Is the CNF an approval?

No — it's a mandatory notification, not a licence. But Health Canada can demand label changes, safety evidence or a stop-sale if your formula or claims are non-compliant. That's why we screen everything before filing.

What if an ingredient is on the Hotlist?

If it's restricted, we verify your concentration against the limit and put the required bilingual warnings on your label. If it's prohibited, we tell you within 48 hours — before you've printed packaging or shipped stock — and guide the reformulation.

We're not in Canada. Can you still file for us?

Yes. Since March 2025 every CNF needs a Canadian address for the manufacturer or importer — our Market Entry package structures this correctly with your Canadian importer or responsible person.

Who is actually doing the work?

CNF FastFile is the productized cosmetics service of Arora 297 Consultancy, a Canadian regulatory affairs firm covering cosmetics, natural health products, OTC drugs, food and medical devices with Health Canada and the U.S. FDA.

What's changing in 2026 that I should know about?

From April 12, 2026, fragrance allergens above threshold must be individually named on labels and notifications. Every FastFile screening already checks for them, so your labels won't need reprinting.
