I use TD Ameritrade

I tell them i want to buy a canadian listed warrant, if they cant find the symbol, they tell me they have to call the traders and it will be about 15 min. I give them a price. About 15 min later i see my bid is in and if no trade, I either adjust the price on line or let it expire. TD traders can or will get you a ticker to place the trade. If they dont for you, you are getting poor service for some reason

FWIW, If you have a relatively large account, fidelity will allow you to trade directly on any foreign exchange for you and keep the funds in the currency of your choice. that means, if you have a canuck warrant and its symbol, there will be no middle man. You can trade directly on about 15 different foreign exchanges. The above was true as of 2 years ago

I trade Canadian wts all the time in my IB accounts. Has to be a margin account (can even be an IRA) and have to jump through the online hoops to get the trading permissions approved. You can either buy on "margin" for CA stocks or easily exchange usd for cad and back again. Same for aussie stocks and many other foreign exchanges/currencies. If I can do it anybody can.
