Canada has a strong and well-regulated capital market with a
history of funding growth companies. By going public in Canada,
companies can achieve robust valuations and raise funds from an
array of institutional and retail investors. Access to funding
opportunities is further broadened by allowing companies to select
the best option for them among the three main Canadian stock
exchanges: the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), the TSX
Venture Exchange ("TSX V"), and the Canadian Securities
Exchange ("CSE").
A company can "go public" and proceed to obtain a
listing on a Canadian stock exchange through a variety of methods,
including an initial public offering, a reverse take-over, the TSX
V's capital pool company program or the TSX's special
purpose acquisition corporation program.
