On March 15, 2021, the Investment Funds and Structured Products Branch (IFSP Branch) of the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) issued an  eNews communication advising that the IFSP Branch will consider requests for filing date extensions on a case-by-case basis for investment fund issuers that are unable to meet filing requirements as a result of difficulties arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Investment fund issuers that are experiencing challenges with meeting the upcoming deadline on March 31, 2021 for the filing of December 31, 2020 annual financial statements can submit a request for a filing deadline extension by providing the IFSP Branch with a detailed submission explaining why an extension is required and the length of the required extension.

In the event that the request for a filing extension is considered novel by the IFSP Branch, the IFSP Branch may have consultations with the other members of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
