"IB's applications have been submitted to the Canadian authorities. A few people are in the process of being registered as well. Hopefully approval will come sometime during July and August at the worst." Any update on approval yet Def? Thanks.
i believe all exams have been taken and material filed. so i think they are just waiting for the word. I'll to make a call Wed. and repost with any more info.
Canada is a socialistic country with strong anti-american sentiment - just out of principle they should not allow daytrading. In fact all commerce and trading activities should be controlled from Quebeq. If you want to trade there you should pay taxes to Canadian and American tax agencies as trading stocks as we know it was invented in the US. Further, 100 miles above the US border (to the north) ahould be US territory anyway, the rest give it back to the eskimos.
Or perhaps something psychoactive...valium? The silent majority of Canadians are in fact very friendly towards the United States. We are still your largest trading partner, you know. Our right to compete in the international market is just as compelling as yours. Yank.
Sorry, didn't realize were looking for retail. And you are right, Bright does not offer futures trading, sorry!!!
I know you are just joking about Canadians so no big whoop but did you know that the first ever ETF was created and traded in Toronto? bet you didnt know that! and you believed the AMEX's assertions that they created ETFs Balderdash!!
spoke to the guys in canada. looks like IB's application for Quebec should be tabled in the August regulatory meeting which hopefully means approval will be towards the end of August.
