The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is the statutory body responsible for regulating Ontario's capital markets in accordance with the mandate established in the provincial Securities Act and the Commodity Futures Act.

The mandate of the OSC is to provide protection to investors from unfair, improper or fraudulent practices, to foster fair, efficient and competitive capital markets and confidence in the capital markets, to foster capital formation, and to contribute to the stability of the financial system and the reduction of systemic risk.

This mandate is performed through policy, operational, adjudication and enforcement work. The OSC also contributes to national and global securities regulation development.

We offer a diverse, fair, and flexible work environment and take pride in our challenging and rewarding work.

As the capital markets rapidly evolve, regulators face fresh challenges driven by shifts in investor behaviour, technological innovation, demographics, and economic conditions.

At the OSC, we recognize the need to adapt and lead in this dynamic landscape. The OSC is embarking on a new strategic plan that will chart our course for the next six years. We are committed to fostering transparency, investor protection and market integrity. To achieve this vision, we have restructured our organization and are seeking exceptional individuals to join our team.
