Please be advised that contribution receipts for the period between February 1 to February 29, 2024 will be issued in the second half of March (Investia nominee accounts only). 

Please be reminded that you have until March 15, 2024 to complete the “Annual Review of Professional Activities” (“ARPA”) for 2023.

As is already the case with TFSAs, Investia must now report to the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) the market value as at December 31 of all registered plans, including those in which no withdrawal was made during the course of the year.

Lately we have been noticing a higher number of payment rejections linked to clients’ closed bank accounts, meaning that the bank account may not have been validated at the time of redemption.

We would like to inform you that Administrative Procedure # 59 – Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) has recently been updated to provide additional clarification regarding the eligibility criteria for Representatives and Assistants. As such, Representatives wishing to integrate ETFs into their practice are  invited to read this amended version before sending their application to the Registration Department.
