from Fido's website: FOREIGN STOCKS Fidelity offers you two different ways to trade foreign stocks. You can utilize either Fidelity’s “International Trading” functionality or its “Foreign Ordinary Share Trading” service. International Trading allows customers to trade stocks from 12 countries and exchange between eight currencies. These trades are placed using a root symbol, followed by a colon (:) and then the two-letter country code for the market the customer wants to trade in. Foreign Ordinary Share Trading allows customers to trade shares in foreign corporations in the over-the-counter (OTC) market using a five character symbol ending in “F.” Depending on the service, different commissions and fees apply, as more fully described below.

When trading in Canadian stocks, orders are generally routed to brokers in Canada. However, dually listed Canadian stocks may be routed to a Canadian broker or U.S. market center for execution. In all cases, the domestic stock commission schedule applies. If your order is routed to a Canadian broker, certain additional fees may apply, including: • Limit orders — a local broker fee is incorporated into the limit price by the Canadian broker • Market orders — a local broker fee is incorporated into the execution price • Foreign exchange fees of up to 0.06% of principal are embedded in the execution price.1

I pay their standard US commission - 6.99 in my case. I do not know whether my bid shows up in the TSX order. I do know that I seem to get good execution.
