RE:RE:RE:Spin out sharesThe Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) sets the requirement that only qualified investments are allowed in registered plans like your RRSP. Generally, if a security trades on at least one exchange that Canada's Finance Department considers a Designated Stock Exchange, it will be recognized as a qualified investment. Among those global exchanges – which total around 46 — are the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, the London Stock Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange and more.
