Fee payments

General

Why is the ‘Pay and submit’ button not enabled for my filing?

The ‘Pay and submit’ button will not be enabled unless the user has permission to make a payment and the balance to be paid is smaller than or equal to the user’s payment limit, if applicable. A PAD account must also have been created for the organization in order to proceed with submitting a payment (except for Report of Exempt Distribution (NI 45-106F1) filings where credit card payments are accepted).

Can a user be assigned the permission to make a filing without the permission to make payments?

Yes, a user can be assigned the permission to make a filing only.  In this case, they would have the permission to create a filing and save it as draft. Another user within the same organization with the permission to make that filing and the permission to make the payment would need to complete the submission.

What happens if my Electronic Funds Transfer payment was rejected after submission?

If an electronic funds transfer payment is rejected, the securities regulatory authority or operator will create an outstanding fee against the filing. After the outstanding fee amount has been created, you will need to search for, select and pay the outstanding fee for the rejected amount. Please click on the following link to Pay outstanding fees.

Why is the credit card payment method not available for my filing?

The credit card payment method is only available for Report of Exempt Distribution (Form 45-106F1) filings.

Pre-authorized Debit (PAD) accounts

Can I set up multiple Pre-authorized Debit (PAD) accounts?

You must set up a single PAD account in SEDAR+ for your organization before a filing with associated fees can be submitted. This single account will be used for payment when filings are submitted, whether an organization is filing for itself or on behalf of their clients. Payments for Report of Exempt Distribution (RED) filings can also be made using credit cards (VISA, Mastercard) and a PAD account is not required for this type of filing.

What is the difference between PAD and EFT?

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is a payment method that allows funds to be moved to or from a bank account. In SEDAR+ a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) account is an account which is used for conducting EFT transactions. Each PAD account is assigned a unique reference number in SEDAR+ and has associated details such as financial institution, branch transit number, bank account number and currency information.
