Exam snapshot

Current route note

As of April 13, 2026, CSI says that effective January 1, 2026 CCO is no longer acceptable for the purposes of CIRO approval with an Investment Dealer. If your reason for taking CCO is registration-related, confirm the current rule directly with CSI and CIRO before you rely on older notes.
