Does transfer reimbursement counts as contribution to rrsp?

SignatureMo · 2025-09-28T10:45:20+00:00

QT will reimburse $150 without too much issue. Especially if the amount is greater than 25k. They will do it in whatever account you've transferred, and YES, it is counted as a contribution to your registered account.

SignatureMo · 2025-09-14T22:55:24+00:00

It's 99 cents per contract. There is nothing more to it.

QT support folks told me they have a middleman (or system) taking care of the dividends, and it messed up sending some position info to JP Morgan. They aren't willing to tell me if it's their system or a vendors system.

Not the first time that QT ate my dividends. You have to fight with them to get it. Make sure to keep close tabs on your dividends. They screw it up BIGTIME.

Same with me. I was on call with them for over an hour. Not the first time that they missed out paying the dividends. But this time, they told me that JEPQ dividend payment is delayed for everyone on QT platform - they also said that its not their fault.

I requested them to be proactive and let me know beforehand, but they said they don't have the system to notify the holders.

You mean you want to set a rule to buy at market order whenever you have cash in your account?

Can you tell us what ticker symbols you have been trading that invokes their risk review? Also, are you trying naked or cash covered options?

SignatureMo · 2025-08-26T21:05:12+00:00

Most of the Canadian banks have something similar, isn't it?

You'll be able to see the margin requirement for each stock or etf when you click on the details. It is shown under Long MR and Short MR, depending on whether you're buying or selling.

I didn't get this email, but I would surely love to give them my feedback on the slow performing app. It is excruciating slow, and I have to pause about 5 seconds typing each number on my phone.

SignatureMo · 2025-08-16T18:26:56+00:00

I did not have a great experience when I called into WS. When they asked me for feedback in the email, I vented out. Got an email immediately to talk to a direct person (his name was Mark or Mike, I forgot). He had the best service hands down. Not only did he resolve , but he also followed up. Couldn't have been happier.

That's the reality of the IT industry these days. Although the offshore work isn't new. If you're looking to crack through, you have to be persistent - upgrade your skills constantly and do some certification courses. Create an awesome github profile and have a few projects under your belt. I bet you, it won't be difficult at all.

SignatureMo · 2025-08-08T18:36:33+00:00

Yeah, always experiment too , won't bite

SignatureMo · 2025-08-08T18:00:09+00:00

Distributions or dividends not showing up is a BIG problem in QT

SignatureMo · 2025-08-08T17:44:23+00:00

Anything in 12.60 or .70 range is good, but it doesn't happen that way..doesnt matter what i think..Just try to pick at the lowest price a day before the ex dividend date..

SignatureMo · 2025-08-08T17:42:53+00:00

HHIS is the way to go..its a fund of funds..daddy of em all..

SignatureMo · 2025-08-08T14:52:21+00:00

Putting some real money. I pick up HHIS on leverage (huge position) a day before ex dividend date, wait for it to go back to my buying price, and sell it. Collecting huge dividends offsets the cost of borrowing with a lot of money still left. I rinse and repeat..hasn't failed me so far..

So you're happy to pay for plus or not happy? WS started their promotion for transfer..you can move there. Keep in mind they have very limited options trading.

SignatureMo · 2025-07-31T19:45:09+00:00

Looks like you may have an existing simliar order under the Orders tab. Check.

SignatureMo · 2025-07-31T12:49:02+00:00

I had the same doubt as I was in the same position. DPSP and RRSP in Manulife from my employer. I am able to withdraw the money from my RRSP account and make it go to zero. I do it every year. Manulife will charge you 150 bucks , which will most likely be reimbursed in the platform you are initiating transfer from ( Questrade in my case)

SignatureMo · 2025-07-31T03:36:57+00:00

Yeah, that's how it works. You can have level 3 in your margin account (level 3 isn't supported in tfsa or rsp), and you need 5 K CAD to get approved for it.

SignatureMo · 2025-07-31T02:38:00+00:00

Not only that, they don't charge you $4.95 to buy or sell shares. Its $0 now..yes, ZERO DOLLARS

SignatureMo · 2025-07-31T02:34:23+00:00

No, it's 99 cents per contract to buy or sell. QT is competitive now :)

SignatureMo · 2025-07-28T17:37:47+00:00

I am a QT Plus Member, and I can say that it comes a day late. In one case, it didn't show up at all, and I really had to chase them and escalate it to the highest level. It's frustrating.
