How long does it all take?

Your Preventive Control Plan (PCP) is then ready in up to 4 weeks on the standard track, or in 1 week on the fast track (higher price), starting once we have all your documents. For the licence, the CFIA's target is 70 business days. Start early.

Does the CFIA approve my PCP?
