- AOnly securities issued by the Government of Canada
- BSecurities issued by a Canadian province, but not those issued by a Canadian corporation
- CSecurities of Canadian issuers that meet specified criteria, including being listed on designated Canadian exchanges✓ Correct answer
- DAll Canadian securities without exception
Explanation
Why C — Securities of Canadian issuers that meet specified criteria, including being listed on designated Canadian exchanges
Under USA Section 401, certain Canadian securities may be exempt from state registration if they meet specified conditions, such as being listed on a designated Canadian exchange and meeting other requirements. This is broader than just government-issued securities and reflects the special status given to Canadian issuers under the USA. The extra setup is just noise; the controlling state-law rule stays the same.
