At this time, Health Canada does not fully accept eCTD (without paper), nor has the agency announced a target date for doing so. They do accept the following:
- eCTD-formatted submissions on CDs and DVDs accompanied by full paper submissions in CTD format, also known as "co-submissions" (being phased out)
- Complete eCTD submission accompanied by a paper copy of Modules 1 and 2, known as a hybrid submission (Modules 3 thru 5 will be subject to 'Print on Demand' requests)
The following table summarizes the eCTD-related guidance documents issued by Health Canada:
