CIRE — Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam (Study Hub + Syllabus)

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam (CIRE) is a CIRO proficiency exam focused on practical, Canada-first regulatory and conduct knowledge: the regulatory map (CSA vs CIRO), client onboarding and disclosure, suitability triggers, complaint handling, market integrity, trade execution/settlement, products (including managed products), derivatives basics, and conflicts/ethics.

Use this hub as your structured prep path:

• Start with the Overview to understand the exam’s scope and question styles.
• Follow the Study Plan for a 30/60/90‑day schedule.
• Work the Syllabus as your checklist (learning objectives by topic).
• Use the Cheatsheet for high-yield rules and workflows.
• Train speed using Practice (when available).

Tip: CIRE tends to reward the answer that is client-first, documented, and escalated when needed. If two answers both “solve” the situation, the better answer is often the one that leaves the cleanest compliance trail.
