11. Canada Revenue Agency Certification for Non-Residents of Canada
If I am a resident of a country other than Canada for tax purposes ("Tax Residency"), I hereby confirm and certify that I am the beneficial owner of and, to
the best of my knowledge, am entitled to the benefits of the tax treaty, if any, between Canada and my Tax Residency on all of this account's income. I agree
to immediately notify Scotia iTRADE of any changes to my Tax Residency, and I further agree to fully reimburse and indemnify Scotia iTRADE for any liability
that Scotia iTRADE may incur in connection with under withholding of tax based on my instructions. I hereby certify that the information provided on this
form is correct and complete. I authorize Scotia iTRADE to provide, directly or indirectly, to any relevant tax authorities or any party authorized to audit or
conduct a similar review of Scotia iTRADE for tax purposes, the information contained in this form and/or a copy of this form and to disclose to such tax
authorities or such party any additional information that Scotia iTRADE may have in its possession that is relevant to my qualification claimed on the basis of
this certification. I acknowledge that information contained in this form and information regarding my Scotia iTRADE accounts (including information on
account balances and payments received) may be reported to Canadian tax authorities, and that those tax authorities may provide the information to any
additional country I have listed above as being a country in which I am a resident for tax purposes. I undertake to advise Scotia iTRADE immediately of any
change in circumstances that causes the information contained herein to become incorrect and to provide Scotia iTRADE with an updated Tax Residency Self-
Certification form within 30 days of such change in circumstances. I understand that it is my obligation to provide Scotia iTRADE my TIN(s) at the time it is
requested. I understand that my failure to provide my TIN(s) may result in my incurring regulatory fines, either directly or indirectly.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I acknowledge that Scotia iTRADE does not provide personal, client-specific or tailored investment advice or recommendations to me, make any determination of my
general investment needs and objectives or any of my investment decisions or transactions, and does not accept any responsibility to advise me on any of the foregoing. I
acknowledge that I am responsible for my investment decisions and transactions, as well as for any profits or losses that may arise, and Scotia iTRADE will not consider my
financial situation, investment knowledge, investment objectives and risk tolerance when accepting and processing orders placed by me.
I acknowledge that the use of leverage may not be suitable for all investors. Using borrowed money, whether through a margin account or any other method of
borrowing, to finance the purchase of securities involves greater risk than using cash resources only. If I borrow money to purchase securities, my responsibility to repay
the loan, pay interest, and meet margin calls as required by the margin terms remains the same even if the value of the securities purchased declines.
I acknowledge that Scotia Capital Inc. is a separate entity from the Bank of Nova Scotia. Unless otherwise advised, securities purchased from or through Scotia Capital Inc.
(a) are not insured by a government deposit insurer, (b) are not guaranteed by a Canadian financial institution, and (c) may fluctuate in value.
