Contact Us TodayCFIA's presence in Victoria concentrates where the island's federal-trade food business actually is: fish and seafood processors holding SFC licences, the exporters moving island product to US and Asian markets, and importers supplying the region through Vancouver's gateway. Inspection preparation for island facilities has its own texture — visits are scheduled around travel logistics rather than dropping in from a local office, which makes each one comprehensive, and seafood establishments face commodity-specific verification layered on standard preventive-control review.
Fish-specific controls: species identification and labelling accuracy, histamine controls where scombroid species are handled, ready-to-eat environmental monitoring for smoked products, water and ice quality, and — for shellfish — compliance with the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program's harvest-area and tagging requirements. Export-eligible establishments also get certification-related verification. We build seafood-specific readiness checklists that cover the full stack.
Run a focused internal verification of the records inspectors request first: PCP monitoring and verification logs current to the day, corrective actions closed with root cause, traceability tested with a live lot exercise, and sanitation records matching the master schedule. Fix real gaps rather than cosmetic ones — inspectors recognize freshly-manufactured paper. Two to three weeks is enough for genuine correction if triage is honest, and that is exactly what we facilitate.
