Reason for this visit

Canadas forex market is highly unique. While the country has a centralized financial regulator—the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA)—overseeing the broader financial sector, retail forex trading is primarily regulated by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), a self-regulatory organization operating under the CSA. Established in 2008, the IIROC has independently built many low-level regulatory bodies supervising three regions and ten provinces respectively with their own independent laws and regulations. The integration of unity and differentiation in regulation makes the Canadian forex market the most complex in the world. In order to help investors or practitioners to gain a more comprehensive understanding of forex brokers in Canada, WikiFX survey team decides to go to the country for on-site visits to local companies.

On-site visit

In this issue, the survey team went to Canada to visit forex broker Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange as planned according to its regulatory address that 2858 Danforth Ave., Toronto, ON, Canada M4C1M1。.

A seasoned and professional inspection team, committed to safeguarding investor interests, conducted a meticulously planned on-site verification of the forex broker Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange at 2858 Danforth Avenue in Toronto, Ontario.

The investigators successfully arrived at 2858 Danforth Avenue, Toronto. The target building is situated in the downtown area, with the street environment presenting a relatively tranquil state - neither as bustling as the core commercial district nor particularly deserted, maintaining an overall ordinary atmosphere.

The storefront facing the street immediately caught attention, where the investigators clearly observed the company signage “Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange” displayed on the buildings street-facing facade. This visual confirmation directly verified the existence of an operational business outlet at this location.

To obtain more comprehensive information, the investigators proceeded to enter the street-level storefront. Through communication with on-site staff, a crucial detail was revealed: Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange‘s actual office/operation area is not located at the ground retail level, but rather in the building’s basement level. This explains why the initial external observation only identified the signage without direct visibility of a complete business hall.

The investigators then attempted to access the companys specific location. After successfully entering the building interior, confirmation was made that the public areas indeed listed “Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange” with directions to the basement level. They successfully reached the specified floor where the company is located.

However, when attempting to gain deeper understanding of the company‘s internal environment, access restrictions were encountered. The investigators were not permitted to enter the company’s internal office areas. Consequently, direct assessment of the companys interior decoration standards could not be conducted.

Through the on-site investigation, it is confirmed that the broker maintains a physical presence at the location.

Conclusion

The survey team went to Canada to visit forex broker Pak Canadian Foreign Exchange as scheduled and found the company at the regulatory address. It indicates that the broker has a physical office at the place. Meanwhile, investors are advised to make a judicious decision following much deliberation.
