They are usually pretty close. In these days of electronic trading any difference is noticed right away and the difference is closed pretty quickly. The main reason for a NASDAQ listing is it is easier to get access to risk capital. Canadian investors are quite conservative on average. They don't get interested in IPO's and secondary offering the way American investor do. In order to raise the most money, companies need to get access to the risk taking American investors. They typically will pay more for an IPO and secondary offering so a company can get more than if it had been a Canadian exchange only deal. In most cases, the NASDAQ trading will give the Canadian Exchange trading its direction.
