Expert CFIA training
delivered directly to
your food business cohort.
You run the program. Nerissa brings 20 years of federal regulatory expertise into the room. You manage the participants. She delivers the intelligence they cannot get anywhere else.
For organizations
serving food businesses
at any stage.
If you run an accelerator, incubator, food business cohort, or sector program and your participants need foundational CFIA compliance knowledge, this is the partnership you have been looking for.
Most organizations in this space rely on government resources, online modules, or generalist consultants to fill the compliance knowledge gap. None of those options offer what this does: direct delivery from someone who spent 20 years inside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency coordinating imports and writing national food policy.
You do not need to source participants, manage curriculum, or handle logistics beyond scheduling. You bring the cohort. Nerissa brings the expertise.
Two mandatory compliance workshops.
Delivered together or separately.
Participants leave with a clear framework for completing their PCP and a precise understanding of what CFIA will verify against it.
-

-
✓What CFIA inspectors look for during verification
-
✓The most common PCP gaps that trigger non-compliance
-
✓How to structure a PCP built for actual operations
Participants leave understanding exactly what a mandatory recall plan must contain and how to document it correctly.
-
✓Mandatory components of a compliant recall plan
-
✓What an annual simulation must include and how to document it
-
✓Traceability requirements that support effective recall execution
-
✓How recall accountability works for Canadian food importers
Flat fee.
You fill the room.
Pricing is structured as a flat organizational fee so you can budget predictably regardless of cohort size. No per-head surprises after registration closes.
Travel and accommodation for in-person delivery outside Metro Vancouver are billed separately at cost.
The organizations
that recognize the gap
and close it.
In every session delivered, participants report that approximately 90 percent of the content was information they had never encountered through any other channel. That gap is not a failure of those businesses. It is a structural gap in how Canadian food compliance knowledge is distributed. This training exists to close it.
Organizational partnerships have included trade facilitation organizations, food business accelerators, business associations, and sector cohort programs across Canada. Fall 2026 dates are now being confirmed.
