The correct answer is C. Deposit transactions of $10,000 CDN or more. Under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), as outlined in Investment Funds in Canada, securities dealers and mutual fund dealers are required to report large cash transactions to FINTRAC.
A large cash transaction is defined as a cash deposit of $10,000 or more in a single transaction or multiple transactions within a 24-hour period. This reporting obligation applies regardless of whether the transaction appears suspicious. The objective is to detect and deter money laundering and terrorist financing activities.
Cross-border reporting rules are different and involve specific criteria. Transactions of $5,000 do not meet the reporting threshold. Not all $10,000 transactions are reportable—only cash deposits fall under this mandatory reporting rule.
The CIFC curriculum stresses that understanding reporting thresholds is a critical compliance responsibility for dealing representatives. Therefore, Option C is the correct and fully CIFC-aligned answer.
