Yes. In Canada, the max residential is 12 outlets per circuit, max predicted
12 amps on a 15 amp circuit, and we assume about 1 amp per average duplex
receptacle. A bathroom where you might use a hairdryer or other high
consumption device would require more latitude.

It really depends on where you live (Canada/US) and if this is a home or
commercial. There are no rules on general lighting outlets per circuit,
only
the load per square foot of space covered (3va/ft2) if this is US
residential.
You do have "design" concerns to serve the load you plan on using.
