Canadian self-directed investors comparing brokerage promotions will find one new public offer and little else that has moved since late August. Qtrade Direct Investing is advertising a new-client cash-back promotion of up to $5,000 for accounts opened and funded between Sept. 1, 2026 and Jan. 5, 2027, according to Milesopedia's 2026 review of the campaign. Wealthsimple and TD promotions described after Aug. 29 remain in place, and no material new sign-up deals were identified for Questrade, Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, or Webull.

Milesopedia reports that new Qtrade clients using promo code OFFER2026 can receive tiered cash back of up to $5,000, a $100 quick-deposit bonus, and transfer-fee rebates of up to $150. That write-up is an aggregator summary, not Qtrade's own terms page. Funding thresholds, eligible account types, holding periods, payout timing, and any clawbacks should be confirmed on Qtrade's official promotions materials before an account is opened or assets are moved.

For Canadian investors, the relevant question is not the headline dollar figure. It is whether a Qtrade account would already fit product needs, fees, and platform preferences, and whether the assets required to reach the upper cash-back tiers justify a transfer. Promotional cash is typically conditional. It can also raise tax-reporting questions that differ between registered and non-registered accounts. Those questions belong in the offer terms and, if needed, with a qualified tax professional. They are not a reason to choose a broker on the bonus alone.

Wealthsimple's September 2026 Monthly Millionaire cash bonus remains invitation-only, with amounts of $5 to $25 described on the firm's promotions help centre. The 3% Active Trader match continues as previously reported. No material changes were identified after Aug. 29. Because both features are invitation-based or tied to existing Active Trader status, they will not apply to every reader shopping for a new account.

TD's Easy Cash Offer, documented on TD's Direct Investing site, still advertises up to 3% on registered transfers. Registration is listed through Oct. 23, 2026, with funding required by Nov. 30, 2026. No extensions or modifications were found after Aug. 29. The dates matter for anyone already planning a registered transfer into TD Easy Trade or TD Direct Investing.

A post-Aug. 29 scan did not identify new or materially changed public sign-up bonuses at Questrade, Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, or Webull. The absence of a marketing-page update is not proof that a private or referral offer does not exist. It does mean there is no confirmed, broadly advertised change to report.

Current public items, as described by the sources above:

  • Qtrade Direct Investing: up to $5,000 cash back plus a $100 deposit bonus for new clients from Sept. 1, 2026 to Jan. 5, 2027, promo code OFFER2026, with transfer-fee rebates up to $150 (Milesopedia; verify on Qtrade).
  • Wealthsimple: September invitation-only Monthly Millionaire bonus of $5 to $25 and a 3% Active Trader match, unchanged from the Aug. 29 update.
  • TD Easy Cash Offer: up to 3% on registered transfers, register by Oct. 23, 2026 and fund by Nov. 30, 2026.

Investors comparing these headlines should treat published cash amounts as marketing, not net expected value. Transfer-in promotions can offset outgoing transfer fees, but they do not change the underlying investment, the commission or MER schedule, or the tax attributes of the accounts involved.
