The answer depends on the status of the devices you deal in - if you buy from a MDEL holder you don't need one (I'm assuming your customers are the ultimate consumers who purchase for their own use).

Right now, I have multiple pharmacies that take from me but the problem is that I want to sell in my name so that I won't be restricted, like a distributor.

As I am a freelancer and the customers belong to the company, they could get rid of me too easily.

Hello Michel,

If you are selling class I medical devices to pharmacies you need the Medical Device Establishment License.
It is very easy to obtain. If you need more information please send me a private message.

for MDEL:

do we need to stick with manufacturer for our madical devices supply? since on MDEL form they ask for manufactror address?
Please guide me about forms mention in MDEL? Is there any templates for it? (recal form, distribution record, complaint form)

For class II, III or IV medical devices, you can sell any medical device that is licensed for sale in Canada. You need an MDEL to be able to sell these devices.
For class I medical devices, you need an MDEL. You can change the the supplier but need to update the MDEL annually.
