CHANGING FROM A STANDARD
TO A MICRO LICENSE
With the updated limits on micro-cultivation capacity, Members who currently hold a standard class licence and are operating within the new threshold may be able to become a micro and benefit from lower fees. Note that you must submit your request to Health Canada by March 26, 2025. To have your request considered within this timeframe, this must be the only change requested at this time.
If you want to change your licence subclass from standard to micro or nursery, fill out this form and email it to licensing-cannabis-licences@hc-sc.gc.ca. Use the subject line “Changing licence subclass from standard to micro for LIC-#”.
It is important to note that if you transition from a standard processing licence to a micro-processing licence, you will no longer be allowed to produce cannabis by synthesis. Producing cannabis by synthesis generally refers to the process of creating cannabinoids (e.g., THC and CBD) by chemical reactions or other means, rather than extracting them from the cannabis plant itself. This could also refer to the process of creating cannabinoids by using biotechnology, such as engineered yeast or bacteria, to produce cannabinoids in a lab setting.
