In-person and online

9/18/2025 10:00 AM

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) hosted its second Data Portability Forum on September 18, 2025 in Calgary to continue the conversation started in May in Vancouver.

The forum discussed industry perspectives, obstacles, advantages, and what a live testing environment might look like. 

The Data Portability Forum is a national conversation and a third and final forum is scheduled for Montreal, Quebec, in November 2025. 

About the data portability test

The CSA Collaboratory’s first test considers issues raised by data portability, with a focus on electronic know-your-client practices (e-KYC). The test seeks to gather information related to: 

  • The use of data portability in mitigating investor risk.
  • Privacy and security concerns.
  • Possible regulatory barriers affecting the development of data portability solutions.
