SEDAR+

SEDAR+ is Canada's official online system for filing and viewing public-company disclosures, the Canadian counterpart to US EDGAR.

What it is

SEDAR+ (System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval +) is the platform Canadian securities regulators use to collect and publish issuer filings. It hosts financial statements, MD&A, annual information forms, prospectuses, and material change reports for companies reporting in Canada. It replaced the original SEDAR system in 2023 and is administered by the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA).

Why it matters

For Canadian and dual-listed companies, SEDAR+ is the primary source of record, just as EDGAR is in the US. Investors who only check US databases can miss disclosures filed solely in Canada. SEDAR+ access is free, which makes it a reliable place to verify Canadian filing data.

How it's calculated

Not a calculated metric; it is a public filing system operated by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Issuers submit documents electronically, and they become publicly viewable after filing.

How Quintarthai uses it

Quintarthai ingests Canadian disclosures from SEDAR+ so non-US names are fully covered and not paywalled, and dual-listed companies show the correct per-listing currency. See cross-border coverage for dual-listed names.

Cross-border note. SEDAR+ is the Canadian analogue of US EDGAR; a dual-listed TSX/NYSE company files in both systems, and its statements may follow IFRS in Canada while a US 20-F/40-F may reconcile or present differently.

FAQ

What is the difference between SEDAR and SEDAR+?
SEDAR+ is the modernized replacement for the original SEDAR system, launched in 2023 to consolidate filings across Canadian regulators. Both serve the same purpose: hosting public Canadian issuer disclosures.
Is SEDAR+ the same as SEDI?
No. SEDAR+ holds company-level disclosures, while SEDI (the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders) is the separate Canadian system for insider-trading reports, analogous to US Form 4 filings.
