With bringing two regulators together you will see a few changes with how we refer to publications that you are familiar with. We hope this page will help give you context and clarity on some of the changes we have made.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Web Team.

Finding previous publications

On June 1, 2023 you will find all Investor Alert, News Release and Bulletin publications made by the New Self-Regulatory Organization of Canada (New SRO) from January 1, 2023 on CIRO.ca.

If you seek a publication in this category that was published before that date, you can find that material on either IIROC.ca or MFDA.ca depending on what division published that content. If you must search for content, you must use that site’s search.

All Enforcement Notice or Enforcement News Release material will remain on IIROC.ca and MFDA.ca until all Enforcement Proceedings/Cases and the Advisor Report are migrated to CIRO.ca.

All Guidance Note material will remain on IIROC.ca and MFDA.ca until all Guidance Notes are migrated.
