Contact Us TodayCFIA verification activity in Vancouver tracks the city's role as Canada's Pacific food gateway: heavy importer oversight tied to the port's Asia-Pacific trade, dedicated attention to fish and seafood establishments whose export certificates depend on compliance standing, and standard SFCR verification across the region's manufacturers. Inspections of importers here are dominated by records examination — supplier verification, labelling compliance, traceability — because for import businesses the documentation is where compliance lives or dies.
The paper trail behind your licence: foreign supplier verification evidence for each commodity, import records reconciling against traceability files, bilingual label compliance for the products you distribute, and your recall plan with proof of testing. Physical inspection of premises matters less than whether your records demonstrate control over what you import. We run records-focused mock inspections that mirror CFIA's actual importer methodology.
Engage the process rather than the inspector: findings come with a compliance timeframe, and you can provide evidence, context, or corrective action proposals — and request clarification of the regulatory basis for any finding. Escalation routes exist through CFIA's complaints and appeals mechanism if disagreement persists. Most disputes we see dissolve when documentation is organized enough to show the control actually existed.
