CSC (Canadian Securities & Investment)

The CSC® is offered by the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI), which the source describes as part of Fitch Learning. This page is independent study material written for candidates; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by CSI or Fitch Learning. Always confirm enrolment, fees, and exam logistics on CSI's own site.

CSI markets it as "The New CSC®" and describes it as "An AI-first learning experience designed for the evolving financial services industry." CSI maintains a dedicated "The New CSC®" page and a "The New CSC® FAQs" page. The source gives no effective date for this revision, so check CSI's pages for what has actually changed and when.

CSI publishes a "Compare CSC® vs IFC" page and an "At A Glance" comparison specifically for this decision. The IFC is CSI's Investment Funds in Canada course, and both appear under CSI's licensing courses. Rather than guessing, work through CSI's comparison and match it to the role you are targeting.

CSI lists an "Enrol Now" link for the CSC® and a "Get Started Today" prompt on its home page. For preparation, CSI provides exam study tips, a review webinar series, and study tools that can be bundled to save. Start with the course materials, then use the review webinars and study tips before booking your exam.

The source does not publish a CSC® syllabus, domain breakdown, or weighting, so this page cannot state one. CSI's catalogue groups its courses into areas including retail banking, financial planning and insurance, investment management and trading, and wealth management and private banking. Consult CSI's CSC® pages for the authoritative topic list.

The source does not state the CSC® exam length, question count, passing score, or fee, so none of those figures are given here. CSI's "About Exams" section, its Fees page, and its CSC® FAQs are the places to confirm current numbers before you book. Treat any figure you see elsewhere as unverified.

The source does not describe CSC® retake rules or a validity period. CSI publishes student policies and an "About Exams" section that cover exam administration, and it operates a forms and contact process for individual cases. Confirm retake and validity rules with CSI directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries.

CSI maintains dedicated pages for post-secondary students and for newcomers to Canada, which suggests the course is positioned for people entering the industry from those starting points. CSI also offers a Career Map and job finder tool to connect the credential to specific roles. Review those pages to judge fit for your situation.

Treating the CSC® as a memorization exercise and skipping CSI's own review webinars and exam study tips. CSI provides these resources specifically for exam preparation, and its study tools can be bundled at a discount. Build a schedule, work the materials, then test yourself with the review sessions before booking.
