Frequently asked questions
How many financial advisors are there in Canada?
Advisor Index lists 5,765 advisory teams and firms: firms whose own website shows their registration (CIRO, provincial securities commissions, FSRA, AMF) and teams published by large networks in their advisor locators. Provincial registers and the CSA National Registration Search remain the official sources for individual registration.
Which Canadian cities have the most financial advisors per resident?
Among cities of 20,000 residents or more: Pointe-Claire (one firm per 372 residents), Boisbriand (one firm per 726 residents), Brossard (one firm per 953 residents). These are business hubs where firms serving the whole region keep their office: per resident, the figure counts offices, not the choice available to people living in neighbouring cities.
Can I find a financial advisor who speaks my language?
Yes: firm websites offer Mandarin (7 firms), Spanish (3 firms), Ukrainian (2 firms), Italian (2 firms), Cantonese (2 firms), Portuguese (1 firms), among others. The language table on this page shows the main cities for each language.
How are these figures calculated?
By counting the Advisor Index directory (firms verified through their website, network advisor teams, matched Google listings) against the 2021 Census population of each municipality (Statistics Canada). Languages and specialties are those each firm shows on its own website. Figures are recalculated whenever the directory is updated.
Method
Firms come from three sources: firms whose own website shows their registration, teams published by large networks in their advisor locators (National Bank Financial, RBC Dominion Securities, IG Wealth Management, Desjardins Securities, Edward Jones, Wellington-Altus), and Google listings matched to either by phone, website or advisor page. A team found both in a network locator and on Google is counted once. Population is the 2021 Census figure of the municipality. No firm pays to be listed or counted.
