Canadian Online Brokerages and Investing Platforms

Your brokerage decides what you pay to buy, hold and convert currency, and how easy your accounts are to manage. This hub is for Canadians choosing a first online brokerage or deciding whether to switch.

Start with the best-brokerages guide, then the head-to-head comparisons. The guides explain trading and account fees, USD accounts and conversion costs, what CIPF protection covers, and how a transfer between institutions works. Every fee comes from the brokerage's own fee page with the date it was checked, and the pages say plainly that a commission to this site never changes a ranking.

Once you've picked a platform, the accounts hub covers which account to open first.
