Electronic Pesticide Regulatory System (e-PRS) Secure Web Portal
The Electronic Pesticide Regulatory System (e-PRS) Secure Web Portal is an online service designed to allow an Information Provider (IP) a secure, efficient way to conduct business with Health Canada regarding the registration of pest control products.
The latest version of the portal makes it easier than ever to manage your applications and access information. Through the portal, you can:
- Submit applications online quickly and securely
- Monitor the status of your applications
- Compile document packages directly in the portal
- Submit large files up to 1 GB in size
- Access portal application history in one place
- Receive updates directly within the portal
This modern platform streamlines the application process, reduces administrative effort, and provides greater transparency throughout interactions with Health Canada’s Pesticides Regulatory Directorate.
The previous version of the e-PRS Secure Web Portal remains available for a limited time; however, information providers are encouraged to apply for a workspace in the latest version of the portal to take advantage of its enhanced features.

Enrolment Form
User Guidance
Eligibility
Any Information Provider who wishes to securely conduct business with the Pesticides Regulatory Directorate online, either on their own behalf or on behalf of another party may enroll to transact through the e-PRS Secure Web Portal. This includes:
- Applicants seeking to register a pest control product
- Registrants
- Authorized representatives of applicants or registrants
- Third-party information providers acting on behalf of applicants or registrants
Important: Authorized representatives and third-party information providers will only be able to view key application information in the SWP if they have been assigned a role within the Applicant/Registrant company workspace.
An IP must be an entity recognized as a person in law. This may include:
- a natural person, with or without a registered business name; or
- an entity created by law to conduct commercial business (e.g., a corporation, partnership, or co-operative).
A person in law, as defined above, has the capacity to own property such as pest control product registrations and to be bound by contracts entered into by that entity. Where a person in law carries on business under a name other than its legal or corporate name, both the legal name and the business (trade) name must be indicated in the Information Provider Profile form and within the portal.
The enrolment must be submitted to Health Canada by an officer or employee of the IP who is authorized to sign and transact on behalf of the IP. This individual is then deemed the "Primary Officer" (PO). The PO must have the authority to represent the IP and to accept the Terms and Conditions of Use.
You do not qualify as an IP if you are:
- A business unit of convenience within a corporation’s organizational structure that does not hold distinct legal status (e.g., “Division of …”).
- A name registered only under the Trademarks Act and not registered under the Corporations Act.
- A name registered solely as a brand name.
Terms and Conditions of Use
The Terms and Conditions of Use set out the responsibilities of both the IP and Health Canada. The Primary Officer accepts these terms on behalf of the IP during the enrolment process within the e-PRS Secure Web Portal.
Before you enroll
Before you begin your enrolment, ensure you have the following ready:
- Legal information: The full legal name of your business or organization, and trade name (if applicable).
- Profile form: A completed Information Provider Profile form
- Supporting documentation: The specific documents required will depend on your circumstances. For example:
- Corporation: Certificate of Incorporation.
- Individual with a registered business name: Business Name Registration Document.

After you apply
Health Canada will review your enrolment request and verify the submitted documentation. Once approved, the Primary Officer will receive email confirmation and be able to access the Company Workspace in the Secure Web Portal.
Once a Primary Officer (PO) is enrolled and has access to their Company Workspace, they can authorize additional users to act on behalf of the IP. There are two different roles that can be assigned:
Delegate Officers (DOs): A person designated by the PO or an existing DO that has full access to the content within the e-PRS Secure Web Portal company workspace. DO’s can perform most of the same functions as the PO, including creating applications, submitting document packages and adding and removing users.
Transaction Users (TUs): A person designated by a PO or DO to transact with Health Canada on behalf of the company. TUs have access to content they create and can be provided further access to applications by a PO or DO.
For detailed steps on adding or managing users, request the e-PRS Secure Web Portal User Guide.
Updating your enrolment
If your company information or Primary Officer changes, contact the Pesticides Information Service for guidance. You may be asked to provide updated documentation to support the change.
