CDS limits online services during security maintenance in Canada — CDS limits online access

CDS is temporarily restricting parts of its website and several online services as it carries out precautionary security maintenance. The update, last marked on October 23, 2026 at 15:00 ET, leaves core CDSX access available for participants, issuers and commercial users through TMX-CDS Connect.

Highlights

CDS limits certain online services and forms during security maintenance, but key CDSX functions remain accessible via TMX-CDS Connect.
Participants can access CDSX for ledger, entitlement, payment exchange, transfer requests, and other transactional activities; issuers can manage ISIN and record-holder requests.
CDS supports ongoing regulatory compliance by allowing online submission of meeting notice publication requests and holders of record requests, though some require additional documentation.

Available access and affected functions

As reported by CDS, citing TMX Group, the depository, clearing and information services provider is keeping some web-based CDSX functions accessible while other online services and forms remain unavailable during the maintenance period.

Participant access to CDSX continues through TMX-CDS Connect for ledger activities, issue activities, book-entry strips and packages, non-transferable issue activities, deposit and withdrawal activities, entitlement activities, payment exchange activities and transfer requests.

Issuer and commercial user access also remains available through TMX-CDS Connect for ISIN issuance and eligibility, holders of record, notice of record and meeting dates, and unqualified letter of confirmation.

Compliance support and market relevance

CDS says issuers can continue to submit notice of record and meeting dates publication requests online through the CDSX application, supporting compliance needs tied to shareholder meeting notices in Canada's financial press and the TMX-CDS Shareholder Meeting website.

For holders of record requests, TMX-CDS continues to offer updated lists of registered shareholders as of a specified date through CDSX, although requestors must provide additional documents including the undertaking and a company letterhead instruction letter. Requestors unable to submit notice requests through CDSX are directed to contact nrmd@tmx.com.

Our earlier article on Menara Asia’s Menarabena platform explained how Malaysia’s construction sector is using digital tools to connect contractors with building material suppliers while centralising certification, documentation and compliance requirements. It also highlighted the role of CIDB-linked support in speeding up approvals and stressed that digitalisation is meant to improve supply-chain efficiency without replacing existing regulatory certifications.
