CIRE FAQ — Common Questions for CIRO’s Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam

What is CIRO, and what is CIRE?

CIRO is the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization. CIRE (Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam) is a proficiency exam that focuses on practical, Canada-first regulatory and conduct knowledge for registrants.

What should I focus on most?

Focus on decision workflows, not trivia:

• Classify the situation correctly (regulatory map + role/authority limits).
• Identify the dominant rule or client constraint.
• Choose the safest compliant next action (and document and escalate when appropriate).

If you want a structured checklist, start with the CIRE Syllabus.

Is CIRE practice available in the Mastery web app yet?

Yes. Start in CIRE Practice for topic drills and mixed review sessions mapped to the syllabus.

2. Work the Syllabus as a checklist (objective-by-objective).
3. Keep the Cheat Sheet open as your “rules engine”.
4. Follow the Study Plan so high-weight topics show up more often.
