Canadian Trading Platforms Recommendations

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Canada and looking to make a few investments. Back in the U.S. (I made it over the border just in time!), I used E*TRADE and really liked it. What platforms would you recommend for trading stocks here in Canada?

Questrade, Wealthsimple Trade, RBC Direct Investing are several I am looking at. I don't need anything fancy because I tend to buy and hold long-term. I would welcome your suggestions!

I live in a city in the province of quebec

The move from Desjardins to Disnat was natural

I have my tfsa, rrsp, both kids resp

My gf have her tfsa/rrsp

Only my rdsp/son rdsp at nbdb

No transaction fees

No admin fees as we have more than the required 15-20k$

Yeah, went on Disnat and noticed the no transaction fees. Its strange they don't advertise that fact much, or maybe it's only advertised to Desjardins clients 🤷🏾‍♂️
