FxPro Canada Review: Is It Regulated in Canada?

Not registered in CanadaCanadian eligibility unconfirmed

By ForexCanada Editorial Team · Updated

Canada check

FxPro holds licences outside Canada but is not registered with CIRO or any provincial securities regulator. If it accepts you, your account will normally be opened with an offshore group entity rather than its better-regulated subsidiaries — so CIPF coverage, CIRO margin rules and OBSI complaint handling do not apply. We could not confirm that it currently accepts Canadian residents — check its restricted-countries list before applying.

Our take on FxPro

FxPro is a well-established broker with MetaTrader, cTrader and its own FxPro Edge platform. International clients are served from its Bahamas entity. Not registered in Canada.

FxPro offers one of the broader platform menus in retail forex — MT4, MT5, cTrader and its own FxPro platform — and has operated since 2006. International clients are generally onboarded through its Bahamas entity. Canadian eligibility is unconfirmed; the Bahamas licence does not provide Canadian protections.

Canadian protection carries 40% of the weight, so an unregistered firm can't outrank a registered one on price alone. See the full methodology.

Verify FxPro yourself

  1. Look for the firm on CIRO's list of dealers it regulates.
  2. Search the legal entity name in the CSA National Registration Search and check it is registered in your province.
  3. Confirm CIPF membership in the CIPF member directory.
  4. Search the CSA investor alerts for the brand name and any look-alike websites.
  5. Make sure the account agreement you sign names the same legal entity — not an offshore affiliate.

FxPro: frequently asked questions

Is FxPro regulated in Canada?

No. FxPro is not registered with CIRO or any provincial or territorial securities regulator, although it holds licences elsewhere (United Kingdom, Cyprus (EU), South Africa, Bahamas, Seychelles). Canadian protections such as CIPF coverage and OBSI complaint handling do not apply.

Can Canadians open an account with FxPro?

We could not confirm this. Check FxPro's restricted-countries list and account-opening terms, and remember that even if it accepts you, you won't have Canadian regulatory protection.

Does FxPro offer MetaTrader?

Yes — FxPro supports MT4 and MT5.
