CIRO - Rules Bulletin - Request for Comments - Proposed Dual Registration Amendments - Proposed CIRO Rules

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) is publishing for comments for a 120-day period, proposed amendments regarding dual registration of its dealer members as both investment dealers and mutual fund dealers (Proposed Amendments). The Proposed Amendments would retire the dual registration regulatory construct by repealing the proficiency upgrade requirement for mutual fund-only advisors who work at an Investment Dealer Member. The purpose of the change is to simplify registration requirements and provide a unified framework across all Dealer Members. CIRO’s bulletin sets out the process for submitting comments.

Comment Period Expires: June 12, 2026
