TD Waterhouse trading account is good. You can go to any TD branch to open one.
I would suggest don't go with TD this time. The reasons are:
1. The TD-WH can't trade GICs. The market situation like now, other trading account is not protected by the GDIC. That means if TD-WH fails, all your money including the cash and bond will be gone with the wind.
2. TD's trading account is not directly assocated with your bank saving account. That means if you have cash in the TD-WH account, you don't gain any interest.
I am using TD-WH now, but I'm thinking to transfer to others.

Yes, banks depsoits are covered by CDIC.
Brokers are covered by CIPF.
My fault! I just found out yesterday that The TD-WH does not provide on-line GIC trading. But you can buy GICs by phone calls or from TD bank directly. (This is not convinent compare with other banks).
But I am not sure the CIPF would cover your stock and boud losses as well if the TD-WH fails?

What I know is that if one member of CIPF bankrupt, CIPF will transfer its customers' accounts to another member and compensate the lost under $1million dollars for each individual combination account.
It looks that CDIC only cover the loss of the general account and saving account but does not cover the trading accounts such as mutual fund.

Yes, you are right. I opened an account at TDW for sevral months, but I didn't make a single trade due to their supper high commision. They charge $0.03 for buy/sell a share after 1000 share. If you want to buy 5K shares, you need to pay $150 for the commision. That is too much and not reasonable. Does anybody know some other on-line trade firm that charges less commision?

Does anybody have experience in BMO-Investorline, TD-WhiteHouse, and RBC-DirectInvesting?

Thank you

If you are an active trader, TD activetrader and Tradefreedom MAX platform are best for Canadian stocks , 7$/trade , both of them are direct-market access,both of them trading platform is developed by the same company .
IB is good for US stocks and option trade . I also like IB TWS market scan function.
If u are not active trade, I think Tradefreedom edge platform or Etrade are good , 9.99$/trade. TD waterhouse webbroker and others commission cost are more expensive than TF and Etrade.
By the way , BNS bot tradefreedom this year.
