| Greetings!
If you’re running a Health Canada - licensed cannabis site and considering EU markets, EU-GMP can feel confusing and heavier than it needs to be. This workshop is designed to break it down in a practical, step-by-step way. We’ll look at how your current Health Canada framework maps to EU-GMP, where the real gaps usually show up, and what actually needs to change to move toward EU readiness. The focus is on clarity, not theory, so you leave knowing what inspectors expect and how to prepare with confidence.
The session is meant for owners and site leaders planning EU entry, QA and RA professionals, QAPs, operations and production managers, compliance and documentation teams, project managers handling certification timelines, and consultants or auditors supporting GMP readiness. If EU-GMP is on your roadmap, or even just being discussed internally, this session will help you make informed decisions.
We’ll cover EU-GMP in plain language and walk through how it differs from Health Canada requirements. From there, we’ll discuss what auditors actually look for in QMS design, facilities, equipment, utilities, and training programs. We’ll also talk through the path from readiness to certification, what inspection day typically looks like, and how to build a compliance culture that holds up beyond a single audit. There will be time for practical next steps and open Q&A.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to map your Health Canada compliance posture to EU-GMP clauses and annexes, identify and prioritize the gaps that matter most, and strengthen or refine your QMS so it meets EU auditor expectations. You’ll understand how to plan validation and qualification activities with proper documentation, prepare a focused evidence package for inspections, and estimate realistic timelines, costs, and decision points for EU certification.
The session is led by Mussarat Fatima, a Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs leader with over 20 years of experience across pharmaceuticals, cannabis, food, and biotech. She has guided dozens of organizations through Health Canada licensing with zero major audit findings, built high-performing QA teams, and led digital QMS implementations that significantly reduced audit response times. Mussarat is known for translating complex regulations into practical systems, SOPs, and training that work in real operating environments.
