Tools that are brokerage accounts in Canada

This collection is a residency match. A listing here means official pages say the product accepts Canadian residents, operates a Canadian entity, or lists Canada as an open-account country. It is not a recommendation to open that account.

Fees, account types (including TFSA/RRSP), and options permissions are unverified on stub pages. Whether a listed account can reach Canadian-listed or US-listed securities is also unverified unless a later review says so.

This is not a broker comparison, not tax advice, and not a guide to trading US options from Canada. A name on this page is a residency filter on account products we already list, not an endorsement.

How to use this list

Pick by fit: Canada-first retail brokerage versus a global broker with a Canadian entity and registered accounts, published commission rows you can confirm on the vendor page. A listing is a job match, not a ranking. Prices below come from each tool’s verified offers on the FTT review. Confirm on the vendor site before you apply. If we don’t have an affiliate link for a tool, the button on its review goes to the official site.

The grid at the bottom of this page is the catalog membership for this job. The numbered section is the live FTT reviews whose official pages document Canadian-resident account on-ramps. Stub directory entries stay under Also — official links only, no invented dollars.

Tools for this job

1. Wealthsimple

Canada-first brokerage for residents who meet official Help eligibility (live in Canada, age of majority, SIN, phone / identity). Self-directed Trade lists TFSA / RRSP / FHSA and other registered types; verified Trade commissions include stocks & ETFs $0 (listed US & Canadian) and equity/ETF options US$0 per contract (Core / Premium / Generation). Managed Invest is a secondary product on the same firm (Core 0.50% / Premium 0.40% AUM on official fee schedules). Fits people who want a Canada-resident brokerage with published $0 equity commissions and registered accounts. Skip if you need a U.S.-residency broker on-ramp, assumed U.S. brokerage availability, or an invented FTT tracked affiliate URL. This directory does not rank “best broker in Canada.”

2. Interactive Brokers

Global electronic brokerage with Interactive Brokers Canada surfaces on interactivebrokers.ca — Individual / Joint / RRSP / RRIF / TFSA / FHSA, CIRO / CIPF footer language, and published CAD stock commissions (Tiered from CAD 0.008/share ≤300k; Fixed CAD 0.01/share; CAD 1.00 min/order). US IBKR Pro / Lite schedules remain on the US site; Lite USD 0.00 US exchange-listed stocks/ETFs is marked US Residents Only — do not assume Lite $0 for Canada residents. Verified US Pro examples also include Tiered from USD 0.0035/share and Fixed USD 0.005/share, plus US options examples from USD 0.65/contract. Fits Canada residents evaluating a multi-asset IBKR Canada account with published CAD commissions and registered types. Skip if you need a Canada-only $0-commission retail story, assumed Lite outside US residency, or an invented FTT tracked affiliate URL.

3. Questrade

Canada-focused self-directed brokerage with TFSA / RRSP / FHSA (and other registered types on official account-types). Verified standing fees include stocks & ETFs $0 (online), US equity options $0/contract, CAD equity options CAD 0.99/contract, US index options moving to US$0.99/contract from market open 2026-09-28 (variable volume grid until 2026-09-27), options exercise $24.95/position (assignment Free), and USD/CAD currency conversion 1.5%. Optional Questrade Plus is $19.99/month on pricing (Plus CAD 0.05 US equity options cashback is a Plus benefit, not a separate commission). Official Photo ID Help: U.S. residents, in most cases, are unable to open Questrade accounts — do not invent a U.S. retail on-ramp. Fits Canada residents who want published $0 equities and $0 US equity options with dated index/CAD options rows. Skip if you need a U.S.-resident broker, assumed free CAD/index options, or an invented FTT tracked affiliate URL. This directory does not rank “best broker in Canada.”

4. Moomoo

Moomoo Financial Canada on moomoo.com/ca — verified US options US$0.65/contract (US$1.00 min/order; options platform fee waived until further notice on CA help topic10_122), US stocks/ETFs from US$0.0099/share combined (min US$1.99 at ≥US$1), CAD stocks/ETFs from CA$0.0149/share combined (min CA$1.49 at ≥C$1), and $0 currency-exchange / account / withdrawal fees on CA pricing marketing. Options marketing names TFSA / RRSP and CIRO / CIPF. Separate Moomoo Financial Inc. US entity stays on the US residency collection — do not mix fee tables. Fits Canada residents comparing published US options dollars with per-share equity commissions. Skip if you need Wealthsimple’s US$0 equity-options Trade schedule, invented FHSA on this capture, or an invented FTT tracked affiliate URL.

5. Webull

Separate Webull US entity stays on the US residency collection — do not mix fee tables. Fits Canada residents who want $0 equity commissions with a published US options contract fee. Skip if you need Wealthsimple’s US$0 equity-options Trade schedule, assumed Canadian-listed options from third parties, or an invented FTT tracked affiliate URL.

Notes from a merged comparison

Side-by-side Questrade vs Wealthsimple for Canada options / self-directed traders, equities, options fees, FX, TFSA/RRSP/FHSA, who each fits. Not a ranking. Not financial advice.

A directory Keep / Gain / Lose map for Canada brokerage / self-directed trading, options fees, FX, and registered accounts. Not a ranking, not a “#1,” not a cheapest-broker shootout, and not financial advice. Published commissions are fee facts, not signals.

People searching questrade vs wealthsimple usually want a Canada-resident fit split between two live brokerage listings: equities commissions, US equity options fees, CAD options / index options where published, FX, TFSA / RRSP / FHSA, residency / eligibility, and optional managed or Plus products. This page is a directory comparison, it repeats fee facts already sourced on our live reviews and rechecked on official pages. We do not invent hands-on claims. We do not promise profit. We do not tell you which broker to open.
