Some brokers (like Fidelity) default to the pink sheet symbol but seem to be giving me TSX prices. What I have to do is to convert the TSX ask into USD at the current rate. It seems to work, independent of what the pink sheet bid/ask is showing.

I use Schwab brokerage account. Schwab appears to route my orders via TSX or to US OTC, whichever is lowest for purchases or highest for sales. FWIW, over 60% of my portfolio is Canadian stocks and I trade Canadian stocks frequently enough to qualify for Schwab Canadian stock trading via TSX is my understanding. Sometimes my Schwab Canadian stock trade will be listed in Schwab StreetSmartPro trades, which means it got filled via US OTC. But most of the time my Canadian trades will not appear on StreetSmartPro, hence TSX traded, and I can see them listed via TSX website.
