My girlfriend...bless her heart...was way ahead of the game and emailed HC on May 7th and got a few responses back. She shared the email correspondences with me but asked that I "NOT SHARE" them on here so I only changed my gf name only...all else found below was copied and pasted in it's entirety...so without further ado
I highly doubt health Canada will give any sort of time frame. I seen someone posted it can take 6 months just to have someone come out for inspection. Personally I highly doubt that simply due to it being an unreasonable amount of time for any business to be in “limbo” as such.
Anyway here is the email I had sent to Health Canada

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a licensed producer under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR).
There is no set timeline between the completion of the inspection and issuance of the licence . Once the inspection is deemed satisfactory, the licence will be issued.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to send us your questions by email at MMPR-RMFM@hc-sc.gc.ca or call us at 1-866-337-7705.

Thank you I was given exactly what I was asking for!
My next question revolves around the actual licensing.
- Issuance: Once the inspection is deemed satisfactory, the licence will be issued.
If pre-license inspection “passes” does it take 30, 60, 90 days for license issuing or is this immediate? (again, I am assuming “no issues/violations”)

Hello,
Thank you for your query
I am simply looking for a timeline of events/steps for obtaining the MMPR.
Once an application is submitted to Health Canada how long before a response?
Once security documents submitted: How long does it take Health Canada to research and give clearance?
Once inspection of site is completed: What is timeframe for issuance of license? Are there other steps between inspection and issuance?
There are six steps to the process once an application has been received under Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations:
- Screening: the application is verified to make sure all relevant information has been provided, and required documents attached. If information is missing, the application may be returned to you.
- Security clearance checks: Once all information is deemed present in your application, security clearance forms will be sent for processing. Note that until such a time as we receive the results from the security checks, there will be no further communications with the applicant. The time required to conduct these security checks varies with each application and you can expect that it will take a few months. Health Canada and the RCMP will not be able to provide you with updates.
- Reviewing: Once all security checks are obtained, the application will be reviewed to validate the information and documents provided. Physical security plans will be reviewed and assessed.
- Ready to build (if required by applicant): Once the application is deemed satisfactory, Health Canada will issue a notice informing the applicant that, if built to the specifications on the proposed plan, the security measures would meet the requirements of the MMPR. Applicants must then build the security measures if this is not already done.
- Pre-licence inspection: Upon confirmation from the applicant that the security measures are in place, a pre-licence application will be scheduled. Upon completion of the inspection, the applicant must address any deficiencies identified.
- Issuance: Once the inspection is deemed satisfactory, the licence will be issued.
The time between pre-licence inspection and issuance of the licence will also vary depending on whether there are any deficiencies that require addressing, and the nature of the deficiencies. processing time will vary depending on the complexity of the application.

Thank you for reviewing my questions as I am trying to understand this process.
I am sure the responses are not a guarantee as there is always the possibility of issues that could arise causes delays.
Sincerely
