Canadian securities regulators amended Policy Statement 11-203 to require electronic transmission of exemptive relief applications through the [Renewed System], while maintaining Québec-specific filing exemptions. The amendments streamline submission procedures for passport, dual, and coordinated review applications by specifying fee routing to the principal regulator or Ontario Securities Commission and listing updated electronic contact addresses for all provincial and territorial authorities. Filers must consult Regulation 13-103 to identify system exclusions, leverage Ontario’s electronic filing portal, and submit concurrent multi-jurisdictional materials to expedite regulatory processing.
