Explanation
Why A — The client must have a pre-existing account with the broker-dealer in Canada.
A Canadian broker-dealer is exempt if the client is temporarily present in the state and had a pre-existing account in Canada. Having an office (B) would require registration, U.S. securities (C) is not required, and residency (D) eliminates the exemption. See USA Section 201(b)(2).
