Day trading in Canada

[Rushman]

That's great, def, but will that approval apply ONLY to residents of Quebec, or rather to all of Canada? If only to Quebec, when is approval expected in the other provinces? Thanks!

 

[Cdntrader]

Don't you just "love" moving targets?...

 

[def]

that's the info I got back along with the others will follow shortly thereafter. (i believe the applications have been submitted but never hold your breath when waiting for regulatory approval. hopefully all the info submitted at this point is all that will be required)

 

[Cdntrader]

the "others" being the other Provinces? as in Quebec is the first?

So we still have another 11 Provinces to wait for approval on?

Damn this is confusing.

edit eom

 

[Rushman]

I think you mean NINE other provinces, no?

 

[Cdntrader]

oops

 

[Cdntrader]

I understand that IB has opened an office in Canada. We must be getting close no?

 

[def]

IB has had an office for a while. Yes we are getting close. Last I heard the regulators have scheduled a visit. Still hoping for this month.

Now only if they'll respond....edit they did respond. Still waiting on approvals.
