Open your account
A few details to start, then a specialist takes it from there. No payment is taken at this step.
What you need
- An email address you actually check.
- A phone number, so a specialist can reach you.
- A government ID, for the KYC verification step later.
What happens next
You submit the form
It takes about a minute and costs nothing.
A specialist calls
They confirm your details, answer questions and explain the next step. No pressure to deposit.
You verify and choose an amount
Only then does any money move, and only the C$350-plus amount you choose.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you put in. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
What happens after you send the form to Jenna Benchetrit
The verification call
A specialist calls to confirm the details you submitted, answer questions and agree on a sensible starting amount for you. It is a conversation, not a sales script - an account opened on unrealistic expectations helps nobody.
How long it takes
Usually one call of ten to fifteen minutes. If you would rather be called at a specific time, note it on the form and that time is respected.
Identity checks explained
Before your first deposit, you will be asked for photo ID and a recent document showing your address. This is the same KYC verification requirement any IIROC-regulated firm applies, and it exists so a withdrawal can only ever return to you.
What is accepted
A passport or provincial ID, plus a utility bill or bank statement issued within the last three months. A clear photo taken on a phone is fine.
