Quick answer

LEI renewal in Canada is required annually to keep the LEI record current. If an LEI lapses, it can affect Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) reporting, including reports submitted to DTCC Data Repository (US) LLC and ICE Trade Vault Canada. TNV-LEI supports LEI renewal within the Fast-Track window and sends reminders at 90, 30, 7 and 1 days.

Why renewal matters in Canada

An LEI is not a one-time registration. Canadian LEI renewal is required annually to keep the reference data current for entities reporting under CSA Multilateral Instrument 96-101.
A renewed LEI helps keep reporting to DTCC Data Repository (US) LLC and ICE Trade Vault Canada current and supports uninterrupted Canadian bank relationships.

When to renew

TNV-LEI sends LEI renewal reminders at 90, 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry. Renewing early helps avoid a lapse that could affect Canadian reporting.
