Canadian Association of Professionals in Regulatory Affairs

The Canadian Association of Professionals in Regulatory Affairs (CAPRA) is a non-profit professional association catering to Canada’s regulated health-product sectors including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, and natural health products.

Its mission is to promote learning, networking, and professional excellence among regulatory affairs practitioners. CAPRA also works to cultivate stronger relationships among its members, governmental agencies, scientific experts, and industry educators, aiming to foster an environment that is economically accessible, professionally rewarding, and academically supportive.

Membership offers individuals at all career stages opportunities to stay current through events, publications, and community engagement, and CAPRA also hosts a consultants directory to connect specialized service providers with the regulatory community.
