ANNOUNCEMENTS
The updates to the NHPID listed below only apply to versions 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 of the e-PLA (electronic Product Licence Application). All new electronic submissions of a Product Licence Application must use one of the latest versions of the e-PLA, namely version 1.4.0 or version 1.4.1. The latter version is available for downloading from http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodnatur/applications/online-enligne/pla-dlmm-view-eng.php. Please note that the only difference between versions 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 is an export/import feature allowing transfer of e-PLA content to future versions of the e-PLA.
