Filing & Fees
Issuers file disclosure documents with the BCSC and other Canadian securities regulators. Filings are made through different platforms, including BCSC eServices, SEDAR+, and SEDI. Issuers are charged various filing fees, which fund the BCSC’s operations.
Issuers use SEDAR+ to file various disclosure documents and SEDI to file insider reports.
For certain documents that cannot be filed on SEDAR+ or SEDI, Issuers can now access eServices to file documents including:
- Confidential material change report
- Confidential material change report (extension of time)
- Escrow related documents pursuant to Form 46-201F1
- Exempt foreign issuer bid materials
- Exempt foreign take-over bid materials
- Letter required to be delivered under subsection 4.11(8) or (9) of NI 51-102
- Pre-filings for Mining Technical Reports
- Documents related to the use of the SEDAR+ temporary hardship exemption pursuant to NI 13-103
- TSXV Listing Application documents (including Personal Information Forms)
The BCSC receives no government or taxpayer funding, relying entirely on fees paid by securities market participants, including companies that issue securities, registered investment firms and registered investment advisors.
