In [[Canada]], to be licensed as a "registered representative" or an "investment advisor" and thus be qualified to offer investment advice and trade all instruments with the exception of derivatives, an individual employed by an investment firm must have completed the [[Canadian Securities Course]], the Conduct & Practices Handbook, and the 90-day Investment Advisor Training Program. Within 30 months of obtaining designation as a "registered representative", the registrant is further required to meet the post-licensing proficiency requirement to complete the Wealth Management Essentials course. A registered representative is also required to complete 30 hours of professional development (product knowledge) and 12 hours of compliance training every three year continuing education cycle as set out by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada. To trade options and/or futures, a registered representative must pass the Derivatives Fundamentals Course in addition to the Options Licensing Course and/or the Futures Licensing Course, or alternatively, the Derivatives Fundamentals Options Licensing Course for options.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.csi.ca/student/en_ca/careermap/index.xhtml?icid=LNK-CSICMT--I01#node:investmentAdvisor | title=CSI Career Map - CSI Global Education | publisher=[[Canadian Securities Institute]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iiroc.ca/industry/continuingeducationmember/Documents/CE-Requirements-Category_en.pdf | title=Continuing Education/Approval Category Chart | publisher=[[Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.iiroc.ca/industry/continuingeducationmember/Pages/default.aspx |title=Continuing Education & Member Resources | publisher=[[Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada]]}}</ref>
