4. Consent to the use of personal information

By entering this Contest, the Entrant authorizes the Contest Organizer to collect and use the Entrant’s full name, email address, city, postal code and telephone number and, if applicable, to provide this information to a specialized company for the purpose of conducting the draw and awarding the Prize, if applicable. For more information, please see the Contest Organizer’s Privacy Notice at ia.ca/privacy-policy.

5. Prizes

A total of sixteen Prizes of $5,000 will be awarded in four draws to be held during each Contest Period. Each Contest Period corresponds to one of the four quarters of the year 2025. Each quarterly Prize is valued at $5,000 (the “Prize”). All eligible participants will be entered into a random draw.

The Prize must be accepted as awarded and may not be transferred to another person or exchanged. The Contest Winner also has the option of depositing the total value of the Prize as a contribution into one of the Contest Organizer's investment products.

6. Draw

The random draw from among all eligible entries received during the Contest Period will be conducted by a person mandated for this purpose, on the first Tuesday of each month following the end of each Contest Period at the head office of the Contest Organizer, located at 1080 Grande Allée West, Quebec City, Quebec G1K 7M3, under the supervision of a member of a professional order employed or mandated by the Contest Organizer. The draw may also be held virtually via the Contest Organizer’s corporate Teams platform if circumstances prevent the draw from being held in person at the Contest Organizer’s head office.

7. Odds of winning

Each Entrant has only one chance to win per quarterly Contest Period. Contest entries are not cumulative within the same quarter. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries at the close of each Contest Period.

8. Claiming the Prize

The Contest Organizer shall contact the Contest Winner by email or by phone to schedule a telephone meeting to discuss the Contest Winner's options and the steps to collect the Prize. To be declared the Contest Winner, the Entrant chosen by random draw must correctly answer a skill-testing mathematical question over the phone, without assistance and within a time limit, at a time agreed upon by both parties. Where the Entrant chosen by random draw answers the skill-testing question incorrectly or cannot be contacted by phone in the two-week period following the draw, they will be disqualified and their entries will be voided. A new draw will then be conducted. Random draws will be held until the mathematical skill-testing question is answered correctly. The Entrant who answers correctly shall then be declared the Contest Winner.

9. Decisions and disputes

All decisions of Contest administrators are final.
