TSX issuers are "generally required" to have some presence in Canada and must be able to demonstrate that they are able to satisfy all of their reporting and public company obligations in Canada. This may be satisfied by having a member of the board of directors or management, an employee or a consultant of the issuer situated in Canada.

Every listed company on the TSX must maintain transfer and registration facilities with a principal office in one or more of Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Québec; or Halifax, Nova Scotia, where all the issued securities of the listed classes must be directly transferable. Where transfer facilities are maintained in more than one city and generic or customized security certificates are used, all such certificates must be interchangeably transferable and identical in color and form, except as to the names of the transfer agent and registrar, as the case may be. Listed companies incorporated in the United States may appoint a transfer agent and registrar based in the United States, provided that they appoint a co-transfer agent in Canada (with transfer facilities in at least one of the cities mentioned above). Where a listed company uses a registrar in the United States, such registrar must be duly registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
