Refer to the SEDAR+ System Status page for operating hours.

All organizations that use SEDAR+ to file or manage their profile must complete a series of steps to gain access to the system. Filing agents that submit documents on behalf of clients must also have authority to file against their client’s issuer profile(s).

Filing organizations that successfully completed the SEDAR+ pre-launch Onboarding process and need filing authority for an issuer client that was not included in the Onboarding submissions must request profile authority.

Filing a report of exempt distribution for a distribution of securities of a foreign issuer

When filing in SEDAR+ a Form 45-106F1 Report of Exempt Distribution for a distribution of securities of a foreign issuer that does not have a SEDAR+ profile, the filer should reach out to the foreign issuer to create a SEDAR+ profile, if possible.

If not possible, the filer should contact the CSA Service Desk to request that a SEDAR+ profile for the foreign issuer be created. The CSA Service Desk team members will request the information needed to create the profile.
