Searching SEDAR+

General

Why does the exported csv file contain non alphabetical characters?

How do I search for a name that contains a comma?

If the profile’s name contains a comma (e.g ‘22NW Fund, LP’) you must remove the comma in order for the profile to be displayed in the search results.

Fees

How do I search for a basket (fee summary and payment information)?

Only users with the assigned permissions can perform this search.  You cannot directly search for a basket. You must search first for a basket transaction.

Click on the transaction reference and then click on the basket reference link.

Profiles

Why are there two profiles with the same name?

If your search results display a company and a third party filer profile for the same party, the company profile is the official profile of the party.

The third party filer profile was created in SEDAR for the purposes of filing a third party filing against another party
