Overview

Canada presents unique challenges for U.S. and global investment banks that wish to make international securities offerings available to Canadian investors.  Change is a constant feature of the Canadian landscape, with new rules and regulations sometimes simplifying the requirements for making Canadian private placement sales, and sometimes introducing even more complexity.   

In this briefing, Rob Lando of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP will discuss: 

  • the Canadian prospectus exemptions typically used for making sales in Canada;
  • the registration requirements that apply to dealers, advisers and investment fund managers, and the available exemptions used for international offerings;
  • Canadian “wrappers” and the scope of the exemptions introduced in September 2015;
  • Canadian compliance requirements that may still apply even when no Canadian wrapper is required; and
  • the new, enhanced Canadian trade reporting requirements coming into effect on June 30, 2016 and how U.S. and global investment banks are reacting.
