IIROC Temporary Order, November 9, 2022

Made under IIROC's rules; CIRO, IIROC's successor, keeps it in effect (2024 CIRO 36, Settlement Agreement para 51(f)).

• “Fortrade shall not open any new client accounts”
• “shall not make recommendations”
• “Fortrade shall not seek the deposit of additional funds into existing client accounts”

Source: Re Fortrade Canada Ltd., 2024 CIRO 36, Appendix A, printed pages 16-17 of 18; Settlement Agreement para 51(f). A search of ciro.ca on October 14, 2026 found no notice lifting the order.

Forex trading apps at the 9 brokers, side by side

The table below puts the apps side by side, and I would read it in a specific order. Start with the dealer column: the app carries a brand name, but your account sits with the CIRO dealer member behind it. Then look at the app each firm names on its own Canadian pages, from OANDA’s mobile app to FXCM’s Trading Station and the Questrade Global mobile app. Plus500’s and Fortrade’s platform rows rest on secondary sources, and the table prints that grade. The EUR/USD figures are each firm’s advertised number, labelled as such and not ranked. We verified every dealer entity on September 26, 2026.

Five of the nine brands in the table, among them OANDA, CMC Markets, FXCM, and AvaTrade, name MetaTrader 4 on their Canadian sites, so if that platform matters to you, our MetaTrader 4 brokers in Canada page narrows the list down.

If you want to see which CIRO dealer member actually holds your account, our CIRO dealers page names the eight dealer members behind these nine brands, with each firm’s CIRO category and CIPF membership.

Every one of the nine brands here states a demo account and its deposit terms on its own Canadian pages, and our best forex broker for beginners in Canada page prints the two side by side for each firm.

Some of the abbreviations on this page are expanded to the regulator's full name: a broker regulated by CIRO is regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization.

CIRO and CIPF for the nine brands with a mobile trading app: the eight dealer members in the table above are all in the CIRO dealer directory and all eight on the CIPF member list, read September 26, 2026; each entry is on CIRO-Regulated Forex Brokers in Canada.

Platforms beside the app

Five of the nine brands offer MetaTrader 4, three offer MetaTrader 5, five state that forex or CFDs can be traded from TradingView with an account, and all nine name a platform of their own, so the platforms beside each app belong in the comparison. FOREX.com’s Canadian trading-costs page, read October 7, 2026, lists the platforms of its two accounts: the Standard account, “FOREX.com & MetaTrader 4/5”, and the RAW Pricing account, “FOREX.com & MetaTrader 5”, so MetaTrader 4 comes with the Standard account only. Its Canadian TradingView login page, read October 29, 2026, says you will not be able to log into TradingView with a MetaTrader account, and that a FOREX.com account is needed. Both reads point one way: the account you open decides which platforms you get, so I would settle which platform you want to trade on before choosing the account.

OANDA lists the same platforms on its Standard account and its Elite Trader program: the OANDA web platform, its mobile and tablet apps, TradingView, and MetaTrader 4, so the platform you want does not decide between the two. FXCM, offered through Friedberg Direct, says an account lets you trade from any of its platforms, and its TradingView connection runs through that same Friedberg Direct account. Its MetaTrader 4 page says MetaTrader 4 accounts carry maximum account equity restrictions, and it tells you to contact Friedberg Direct for the details. An Active Trader account gets free access to its FIX, ForexConnect and JAVA APIs. CMC Markets says instrument coverage and pricing are not identical between MetaTrader 5, MetaTrader 4 and the CMC platform, and its app gives you its web platform’s functionality, so a price you see in the app may not match the MetaTrader price. We read these pages between October 5 and October 29, 2026.

From the Canadian pages we read on October 29, 2026: Interactive Brokers names leveraged forex among what you can trade through its TradingView integration, and says you can connect a live or paper account. Questrade Global, as a mobile app and as a desktop platform, is for FX and CFD accounts only, and a linked Questrade account lets you trade stocks and ETFs on TradingView. If you want TradingView for forex, note that no Questrade page we read says whether an FX and CFD account connects to it. Plus500’s Canadian home page links a web platform and its iOS and Android apps and names no MetaTrader and no TradingView, and its Canadian FAQ, which we read on September 26, 2026, also names a Windows app. Fortrade’s Canadian about page names one platform, The Fortrade Platform, and names no MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or TradingView.

We read each app’s listing on the Canadian App Store and on Google Play set to Canada on October 29, 2026; for FXCM, CMC Markets and Interactive Brokers we chose the listing whose own text names the Canadian dealer. On the App Store, OANDA is rated 4.7 (3.2K ratings), FXCM 2.4 (14 ratings), FOREX.com 4.6 (905 ratings), CMC Markets 3.8 (97 ratings), IBKR Mobile 4.5 (4.7K ratings), Plus500 4.6 (91 ratings), and Questrade Global 2.0 (41 ratings). On Google Play, OANDA stands at 4.5 (8.85K reviews), FXCM at 2.5 (1.31K reviews), FOREX.com at 4.4 (4.39K reviews), CMC Markets at 3.9 (3.18K reviews), IBKR Mobile at 4.6 (77K reviews), Plus500 at 3.9 (127K reviews), and Questrade Global at 2.8 (59 reviews). The figures are the stores’ own, not ours. I would read little into a figure built on 14 ratings, as FXCM’s App Store figure is, or on 41 ratings and 59 reviews, as Questrade Global’s are. AvaTrade gets no rating: its Canadian platforms page says Friedberg Direct offers a mobile app for iOS and Android but links no App Store or Google Play listing, and the AvaTrade listings we read on the two stores that day do not name the Canadian dealer, so neither way of picking a listing applies. Fortrade gets none, because the IIROC Temporary Order of November 9, 2022, which CIRO keeps in effect, bars Fortrade Canada Limited from opening new client accounts.

Which app is best for forex trading in Canada?

The order on this page follows our score, and OANDA sits first. Beyond that, I would choose the account and the dealer before the app, because the app mostly follows the account. A trader who charts on TradingView should note that CMC Markets offers TradingView on CMC platform accounts only, while its MetaTrader 4 and 5 run on a separate account type. FXCM runs Trading Station on mobile, and Interactive Brokers names IBKR Mobile while acting as an order execution-only dealer, so the dealer provides no advice there. AvaTrade’s Canadian platforms page, read October 29, 2026, names MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, AvaOptions, AvaSocial and WebTrader, and says all of them are available on desktop and mobile. If you want one account for everything, note that Questrade Global’s app serves FX and CFD accounts only, so check where your trading actually lives before downloading anything. In my view, that account condition matters more than any app store listing.

Can you trade forex on a phone in Canada?

Yes, you can. All nine brands on this page name a mobile app or a platform that runs on iOS and Android, each offered through a CIRO dealer member. Plus500’s FAQ names its iPhone/iPad and Android apps, Questrade names the Questrade Global mobile app for iOS and Android, and Interactive Brokers names IBKR Mobile. Fortrade names its platform on web, iOS, and Android, but the IIROC Temporary Order of November 9, 2022, which CIRO keeps in effect, bars Fortrade Canada Limited from opening new client accounts. I would decide which dealer holds your account first, then download that firm’s app.
