Canadian Depositary Receipts
Canadian Depositary Receipts (CDRs) are a time-tested way for investors to access shares of foreign listed companies. Canadian Depository Receipts (CDRs) were launched in July 2021.[1][2] CDRs are designed to make it easier for Canadians to access the most popular publicly listed US companies, in Canadian Dollars, and with a built-in currency hedge. CDRs are now listed and trading on the NEO Exchange, operating as Cboe Canada.[3]
Tax considerations
CDRs held in non-registered accounts are considered “specified foreign property” for purposes of the Canadian specified foreign property reporting rules, i.e. CRA form T1135.[4][5]
