CSA Staff Notice 13-315 (Revised)
Securities Regulatory Authority Closed Dates 2014*



January 9, 2014

We have a review system for prospectuses (including long form, short form and mutual fund prospectuses), prospectus amendments, pre-filings, and waiver applications. It is described in National Policy 11-202 Process for Prospectus Reviews in Multiple Jurisdictions (NP 11-202).

Under NP 11-202, a filer that receives a receipt from the principal regulator will be deemed to have a receipt in each passport jurisdiction where the prospectus was filed. However, the principal regulator’s receipt will only evidence that the OSC has issued a receipt if the OSC is open on the date of the principal regulator’s receipt and has indicated that it is “clear for final”. If the OSC is not open on the date of the principal regulator’s receipt, the principal regulator will issue a second receipt that evidences that the OSC has issued a receipt on the next day that the OSC is open.

The following is a list of the closed dates of the securities regulatory authorities for 2014 and January 2015. Issuers should note these dates in structuring their affairs.
