Entering TSX stocks and ETFs
Use the exchange suffix to identify the Canadian listing: ENB.TO for Enbridge, RY.TO for Royal Bank, or XEI.TO for the Canadian ETF. These are symbol examples, not investment recommendations. A U.S. listing can have a different trading currency even when the issuer is Canadian.
Enter the number of shares or the position value. Supported Canadian tickers are looked up through the financial service; availability depends on the data sources.
Combining CAD and USD dividend income
The tracker converts U.S.-dollar income to Canadian dollars using the displayed USD/CAD rate. For an illustrative rate of 1.36, US$100 of annual dividends equals CAD$136 before withholding taxes and conversion fees. The rate and amount in this example are assumptions.
Keep the payment currency separate from the stock-price currency. Some distributions are announced in a currency that differs from the quoted share price. The cash deposited by your broker may also differ from the gross estimate.
Reading a Canadian dividend calendar
The ex-dividend date relates to eligibility. The payment date is when the issuer plans to pay. An annual estimate divided by twelve is a monthly average; a quarterly payer does not necessarily pay each month.
The calendar lookup shows available announcements and their sources. The personal tracker can also show projections, which are labeled separately. An unavailable announcement does not mean the security has stopped paying dividends.
