You'll find such restrictions spelled out in this section. Buying the Fund This will tell you how you actually go about purchasing units of the fund. This may be through agents, brokers, investment dealers and so on, or from the fund company itself.
Some funds are only available to residents of certain provinces.
If this is the case, this restriction will be mentioned here. The minimum amount you'll need to invest as a new investor will be detailed, as well as the minimum size of subsequent purchases you can make.
