Tradeview Markets Canada Review: Is It Regulated in Canada?

Canada check

Tradeview Markets 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 Tradeview Markets

Tradeview Markets is a Cayman Islands broker offering ECN-style MetaTrader and cTrader accounts, and has historically been used by North American traders. CIMA oversight is more substantive than most offshore regimes but is not Canadian registration.

Tradeview has long been one of the few brokers offering Currenex and cTrader alongside MetaTrader, and its Cayman Islands licence is more substantial than many offshore regimes. It has historically been used by North American traders, but it is not registered in Canada, so CIPF and OBSI don't apply. Canadian eligibility is unconfirmed.

How Tradeview Markets scores

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