Listing Process

If you are thinking about listing on Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or TSX Venture Exchange, we recommend that you contact our Business Development Team as soon as possible. Business Development managers will provide you with information about our listing requirements and processes. They can provide referrals to potential member sponsors, professional advisors, accountants and technical experts.

The steps to list on Toronto Stock Exchange or TSX Venture Exchange are as follows:

  1. Contact Business Development to set up an advisory meeting.
  2. Prepare your internal and external advisory team (management, directors, investment dealer, legal counsel, auditor, IR professional).
  3. Prepare your TSX or TSX Venture Exchange Listing Application and prospectus.
  4. Submit application and supporting documentation.
  5. TSX and TSX Venture Exchange review for listing approval.

Listing your company on a public marketplace is an important decision.  Planning the application process should begin well in advance of the point in time in which you intend to list on Toronto Stock Exchange or TSX Venture Exchange.

To apply, companies must submit a Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) listing application and supporting documents such as the Personal Information Form. Resource companies must also submit geological reports in compliance with regulatory guidelines, as prepared by an independent, qualified third-party.

If your company is issuing a long-form prospectus, we will accept the TSX listing application cross referenced to that prospectus, provided you also submit the required supporting documents and can demonstrate that public distribution requirements are met.

TSX's Listings Committee is responsible for approving all applicants for listing on the senior exchange. The TSX Listings Committee may also consult Toronto Stock Exchange's Listings Advisory Committee, comprised of persons in the securities industry, on complex or unique applications. On approval for listing on TSX, your legal counsel will be provided with a letter of conditional approval, outlining any outstanding filing requirements as well as the final Original Listing Fee.

Once conditionally approved for listing on TSX, you will receive an invitation for an optional listing ceremony to celebrate your status as a newly listed issuer. We will arrange for media coverage of the event, and will also introduce your company to the various TSX departments which you will deal with on a regular basis.

Post-listing, TSX will regulate the issuance of any additional capital, monitor compliance with the established reporting requirements, and ensure that your company meets TSX's ongoing listing requirements.
