About: Canada
Canada is a restricted market. Oversight sits with provincial securities regulators under the Canadian Securities Administrators umbrella, and many firms exclude Canadian residents outright. We treat promotion risk as high and list no firm for this market today; check each firm's own terms for whether it accepts Canadian clients at all.

Firms for Canada
No firm is listed for this country. We have joined no affiliate program and the legal picture is adverse, so we list no firm here today.
How is this regulated in Canada?
Canada regulates securities and derivatives at the provincial level, coordinated through the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA). There is no dedicated federal prop-firm licence, and the funded-account challenge is not a separately authorised product. A practical consequence is that many prop firms simply exclude Canadian residents rather than navigate the provincial regimes — which makes 'does this firm even accept Canadians?' the first question to answer.
As everywhere, a firm being available to you is not the same as the product being regulated or protected. There is no compensation scheme behind a funded-account evaluation. Check each firm's own terms for Canadian eligibility, and treat any evaluation fee as money at risk.
Why we list no firms for Canada
Because provincial oversight makes Canadian solicitation complex, many firms exclude Canadians, and we have joined no affiliate program, we list no firm for Canada today. Nothing on this page is financial advice or a recommendation to sign up.
