This passive investing approach saves time too, as you don\u2019t need to research what shares to buy and sell and when to do so.<\/p><h3><a id=\"step2\"><\/a>Step 2: Sign up for a trading app account<\/h3><p>Brokers, banks and other financial services companies follow a regulatory process known as Know Your Client (KYC), which is a process to verify the identity and other credentials of customers. When you\u2019re applying for a brokerage account, you\u2019re taking part in the KYC process.<\/p><p>The exact steps for opening a stock trading account vary between platforms, but here\u2019s how it generally works:<\/p><ul><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Start an online application.<\/strong> Most platforms let you complete the entire application process online, although some may require extra steps like visiting a brokerage branch in person to verify your identity and complete the process.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Create your profile. <\/strong>Create the username and password with which you\u2019ll access your account. You may have to confirm any devices linked to your trading account before your application can proceed.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Select an account type. <\/strong>TFSAs and RRSPs are popular types of accounts, although you may also be able to open other accounts like trusts and business accounts.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Enter your personal information. <\/strong>You\u2019ll typically need to provide your full name, email address, residential address, phone number and Social Insurance Number (SIN).<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Enter basic employment and financial information.<\/strong> You may be asked to provide the name of your employer, basic financial information and bank account details to transfer funds to your investment account.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Verify your ID and residency. <\/strong>Usually, you need to email or upload a copy of valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver\u2019s license or passport) to your brokerage website.<\/li><li style=\"padding-bottom: 14px;\"><strong>Submit your application and wait for approval. <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve provided all required information and documents, submit your application. Approval often takes anywhere from 1-2 business days.<\/li><\/ul><h3 id=\"step3\">Step 3: Set up a funding method to pay for the transaction<\/h3><p>While you can open an account with most brokers without a minimum deposit, you can\u2019t trade until you have sufficient funds in your account to cover the cost of the transaction.<\/p><p>One of the easiest ways to do this is to link your bank account and transfer funds via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). EFT transfers take between 1 and 3 business days to complete, but some brokers offer a feature called instant deposits, which allow you to trade before the funds have settled.<\/p><p>Other funding methods include wire transfer, cheque deposit and account transfers from other brokerage accounts. Credit cards are typically not permitted as a brokerage account funding method.<\/p><h3 id=\"step4\">Step 4: Choose the stocks you want to buy<\/h3><p>Where do you get investment ideas? In other words, how do you choose the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/best-canadian-stocks\">best stocks to buy<\/a>?<\/p><p>A good place to start is with an industry that interests you and then explore the different companies in that space. Identify key players and young companies with potential for growth but also figure out which companies are falling, or have fallen, out of favor. If you want to follow a Warren Buffett saying, \u201cnever invest in a business you cannot understand.\u201d<\/p><p>Tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/stock-screeners\">stock screeners<\/a> can help you narrow down stocks by sector, industry, price range and more. Search for companies by name or ticker symbol. If you\u2019re on the fence about a purchase, add the stock to your watchlist to keep an eye on its performance. Analyst research reports can give you valuable insight into companies and guidance as to whether a particular company is a good investment.<\/p><p>At the end of the day, perform as much in-depth research as possible until you\u2019re comfortable investing.<\/p><h3 id=\"step5\">Step 5: Place your order<\/h3><p>With a stock in mind and funding in place, it\u2019s almost time to invest. But before you buy any shares, you should know how much money you want to invest in any particular stock.<\/p><p>Consider your budget, investment goals and your portfolio allocation. With the advent of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/fractional-shares\">fractional shares<\/a>, you no longer need the entire share price to invest. Instead, you can invest specific dollar amounts in a stock. However, not every broker offers this feature.<\/p><h4>How many stocks should I purchase?<\/h4><p>The ideal number of stocks for your portfolio depends on your investment goals and level of desired diversification. Renowned value investor Benjamin Graham put this number between 10 and 30 stocks. New investors may hold fewer stocks, while experienced traders may feel comfortable monitoring a wider range of securities.<\/p><h3 id=\"guide\">5 ways to invest in stocks<\/h3><p>Almost anyone can invest in the stock market, and it\u2019s possible to invest with as little as a few dollars. Here are some of the most popular methods for investing in stocks in Canada:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Buy stocks through a trading platform:<\/strong> As outlined above, you can open a stock trading account with an investment platform and buy stocks online. <a class=\"scroll\" href=\"#compare\">Compare platforms here<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Invest in ETFs or mutual funds:<\/strong> Purchasing shares of an exchange-traded fund or mutual fund lets you own part of a pool of stocks in different companies. This can be a great way to diversify your investments and reduce your risk.<\/li><li><strong>Use a micro-investing app:<\/strong> Round up everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and transfer the difference into an investment account. You\u2019d be surprised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/what-is-micro-investing\">how quickly small transfers can add up<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Use a robo-advisor:<\/strong> Avoid the hassle of managing your own investments and the hardship of high professional management fees by letting a computer algorithmically invest for you based on your individual goals and risk tolerance.<\/li><li><strong>Use a wealth manager or financial advisor:<\/strong> Employ an advisor to buy stocks and manage your investments on your behalf. This can be costly, but you\u2019ll benefit from trained professionals with years of experience and industry-leading tools at their fingertips.<\/li><\/ol><h3>Types of stock orders<\/h3><p>There are two ways to purchase stock: placing a market order or a conditional order.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Market orders.<\/strong> Place a market order when you want to buy a stock immediately at the current market price. If you\u2019re buying shares of a volatile stock, the price at which your order is executed could be higher or lower than the last traded price.<\/li><li><strong>Conditional orders.<\/strong> Place a conditional order, such as a limit order or stop order, to invest only when a stock meets specific conditions. A limit buy lets you set a specific time frame, during which a trade will auto-execute if a prespecified maximum price is reached. If it\u2019s never reached, the trade won\u2019t execute.<\/li><\/ul><p>Once you\u2019ve entered details like the type of order you want to execute and the number of stocks you\u2019d like to purchase, submit the order.<\/p><h3 id=\"compare\">Compare more online brokerages in Canada<\/h3><div class=\"content tableWithFilters\n        \n        \n         -table-container\"

Other brokers charge extra for specialized investment products. High-value trades are often charged as a percentage of the total trade value, rather than a fixed fee.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re an active trader, you could qualify for discounted trading fees. Requirements vary between brokerages, but usually this involves placing around 150+ trades per quarter.<\/p><p>You can compare the fees and features of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/best-stock-trading-apps-in-canada\">best stock trading apps here<\/a>.<\/p><h3>What happens after I buy a stock?<\/h3><p>Once the broker executes your order, you\u2019re considered a shareholder. Congratulations! And now you can either hold the stock or sell it. Buy-and-hold investors hold on to stocks in the hopes that they will eventually increase in value. They may hold a stock for months or years before they decide to sell it\u2014hopefully at a profit.<\/p><p>Active traders, on the other hand, may offload a stock quickly. Specifically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/day-trading-in-canada\">day traders<\/a> buy and sell a stock over a single trading day. The aim is to take advantage of sudden price changes. This type of trading is complex, fast-paced and requires a deep understanding of the market, so it\u2019s not suitable for beginners.<\/p><p>Ultimately, what you do with the assets in your portfolio depends on your investment goals, strategy and risk tolerance. Make sure to check in occasionally on your investments to track their performance and ensure your portfolio still aligns with your investment goals.<\/p><h3>How dollar-cost averaging can lower your risk<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/dollar-cost-averaging\">Dollar-cost averaging<\/a> is a strategy investors use to minimize losses from market volatility and maximize their long-term returns. Instead of investing a large sum of money all at once, investors gradually purchase stocks over time, often at regular intervals.<\/p><p>Say you have $1,000 to buy stocks online. Instead of investing the entire $1,000 at once, you dollar-cost average by investing $100 every month for 10 months. This means you purchase shares at various prices\u2014some low, some high\u2014which is better than buying at one time when the shares might be overpriced.<\/p><h3>When should I sell my stocks?<\/h3><p>The process of selling your shares is equally as important as buying them. But not every investor follows the same playbook.<\/p><p>Some experts say you should consider selling your stocks if the company\u2019s fundamentals change for the worse or if the competitive landscape changes. For instance, you may decide to sell your stock in a company whose earnings continue to steadily decrease or whose performance has dramatically weakened compared to industry peers.<\/p><p>Another reason to sell might be that you need the money for a more attractive investment.<\/p><p>Ideally, investors want to sell when it will be the most profitable. But timing the market is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, and can be costly. This is why it\u2019s important to develop a strategy and stick to it.<\/p><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">How do I sell my stocks?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">Selling stocks works similarly to buying stocks.

Do your own research, and place your own trades without influence from brokers or financial advisors seeking a commission.<\/li><li><strong>Complimentary research and trading tools.<\/strong> Many online brokers provide free educational resources and research tools that can help you better understand the markets and investing.<\/li><li><strong>Real-time updates.<\/strong> Monitor asset prices, stock market news and your portfolio from your phone, tablet or laptop.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Is it safe to buy stocks online in Canada?<\/h3><p>Generally speaking, yes, it\u2019s safe to buy stocks from an online brokerage in Canada. Most trading platforms employ safety measures like 24\/7 infrastructure monitoring and two-factor authentication as standard protocols along with maintaining a membership or good standing with the IIROC. But, like with anything on the internet, there are still some things to watch out for:<\/p><ul class=\"list-3\"><li><strong>Technical problems.<\/strong> Your ability to trade and invest depends on the underlying platform, its software and its servers. If you can\u2019t access your account because of a server outage, you could miss an opportunity to buy or incur losses if you can\u2019t sell.<\/li><li><strong>Security concerns.<\/strong> Hackers constantly target online brokers, and a breach could result in the theft of personal and financial information.<\/li><li><strong>Making rash investment decisions. <\/strong> Emotional investing and unfettered access to the market can lead to impulse trading, which can be costly. Traders can also get caught up in the excitement of fast-moving markets, investing too much too quickly and without first taking the proper time to understand the stock.<\/li><\/ul><h3>1 in 2 Canadians prefer stocks over other investment types<\/h3><p>Over half of Canadians (51.05%) prefer investing in stocks over other types of investments, according to the <em>Finder: Consumer Sentiment Survey January 2025<\/em>. Mutual funds (39.86%) and GICs (36.76%) are the next most preferred types of investments. Crypto meme coins (4.1%) and crypto ETFs (5.69%) are the least preferred, suggesting that, where investing is concerned, most people are leaning towards safety and convention over the gamble of decentralized finance.<\/p><div class=\"has-padding-xsmall\"><\/div><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-AHXnQ\" title=\"What do you think are the most appealing types of investments to make in 2025?\" width=\"100%\" height=\"436\" scrolling=\"yes\" aria-label=\"Bar Chart\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/AHXnQ\/1\/\" style=\"border: none;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><ul class=\"list-9\"><li>Buying stocks online begins with <a class=\"scroll\" href=\"#compare\">comparing and choosing a quality trading platform<\/a>.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\">Learn about your investing options<\/a> and research companies to invest in before committing funds.<\/li><li>Try to remove emotions from investing, and be prepared to follow your plan.<\/li><\/ul><h3>FAQs on how to invest in stocks in Canada<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000003\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What stocks can I buy online?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>All types of stocks are available online, but access to those stocks will depend on the asset types your trading platform supports.

For instance, US exchange-listed stocks from popular indices like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/invest-in-sp-500\">the S&P 500<\/a> are available on most platforms, but not every broker offers access to over-the-counter (OTC) securities, penny stocks or internationally-listed stocks.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much money do you need to start investing in stocks in Canada?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rYou can start investing with as little as $1, depending on the investment platform you use. Some brokerages require no minimum deposit to open an account, while others require a minimum deposit to waive annual account maintenance fees.\r\rThe actual amount you need to invest depends on the price of the stocks you want to buy, which can range from under $1 up to thousands of dollars. If your investment platform offers fractional share trading, you can buy a small portion of a single high-price stock for much less that buying a whole stock outright.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I just buy stocks on my own?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rYes, with an online brokerage account, you can buy stocks on your own and without the assistance of a stock broker.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I buy $100 in stocks?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rYes, you don't need a lot of money to start investing. With $100\u2014or any other amount\u2014you can buy whole shares that cost as much or less. If your brokerage supports fractional share trading, you can buy partial shares of stocks that cost more than your investment amount.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I change or cancel my order?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rYou can change market orders any time prior to submission. Once executed, you cannot reverse a market order. Investors can change or cancel standing orders, such as a limit order, any time before the order has been filled.\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I invest in US stocks if I live in Canada?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\rYes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/invest-in-us-stocks\">you can buy US stocks<\/a> through Canada-based brokerages that provide access to US stock exchanges.
