Please can someone suggest me any good platform to buy Canadian stocks.
I have already account with HL and Iweb and am planning to buy PTQ.V
Also can this stock be bought under  S&S ISA
Any suggestions will be much appreciated?

    IG have international offices. Though their trading costs aren't cheap.

    Saxo Bank and Fineco offer Canadian shares but I cannot see the one you mention, Protech Home Medical Corp, in their available equities lists.

    Canada isn't an exotic market, household names like ii and AJ Bell all do it just like US markets. There is no need to go with an obscure or advanced platform.

    With II or AJ Bell you will be able to buy Canadian stocks  but may be a phone deal rather than online.

    If I have time on Monday I will check both platforms for online quotes  for PTQ.V as I have ISAs with both and post the answer here.

    Canada shows on ii app for international equities. I think it's the standard £7.99 fee, can check on Monday.

    @Steve182 - Sorry for bothering you , have you managed to check from II and AJ Bell?

    Same as per any stock: 1% foreign exchange, £11.95 transaction fee. If you keep them in S&S ISA there is a 0.45% broker platform charge(capped at £45). Free for normal account
