sedarplus.ca

Official Canadian public‑filings system operated by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA).

Advanced search supports ‘Document content’ full‑text queries. Search results can be exported to CSV; individual filings download as PDFs. Ticker lookup is not the primary key—use issuer/fund profile name or profile number.
