The problem this seat exists to solve

This director will strengthen board scrutiny of financial implications arising from resource operating plans and material commitments. The role focuses on consistency: statements about investment, production change or long-term obligations should be supported by the financial assumptions and reporting process.

Connect public commitments to the financial account

If management presents a long-term operating plan to support investment, ask whether financial estimates use compatible assumptions. Differences may be justified, but they need an explanation. The committee should be able to identify where a public narrative, an internal budget and an accounting judgement rely on materially different expectations.

Director and audit committee contribution

Review significant judgements and disclosures with attention to the information arriving from operations, projects and specialist functions. Ask whether approved commitments are reflected in forecasts and whether changes in plans have been considered across relevant accounting conclusions.

Help identify reporting risks that sit between functions. A technical team may understand a development while finance receives it too late or without its economic consequences. The director should challenge the completeness of that information flow and the evidence supporting management's assessment.

Qualifications and selection evidence

Candidates should have strong financial reporting expertise, audit oversight experience and Canadian public-issuer governance knowledge. Resource-sector experience is important, including familiarity with the way technical and operating information informs financial judgement. They need to work constructively with specialists while retaining independent challenge.

Applicants should discuss a case where a non-financial development had material reporting consequences that were initially overlooked. Explain how the issue reached the committee and how responsibilities were clarified.

The director does not certify technical plans or prepare disclosures. Management and competent specialists retain those responsibilities. The board should gain better visibility of the links between commitments, assumptions and reporting, allowing it to act on inconsistencies before they become a late filing problem. Independence and any committee-specific eligibility requirements must be assessed for the actual appointment.

Terms

Where the board sits: Montreal, Canada
Applications close: 6 December 2026
Appointment: Board appointment
Compensation: CAD 65,000–110,000 per year (indicative annual board fee)
Time commitment in this market: Typically 6–9 board meetings a year plus committee cycles; resource issuers add site visits and a heavier technical-report load.

Before you apply — Canada

No nationality test applies to you. Whether residency matters depends entirely on where the company is incorporated — federal CBCA companies have a 25% resident-Canadian rule, Ontario and BC companies do not.

Residency test: 25% of directors of a CBCA corporation must be resident Canadians. Ontario abolished its equivalent requirement in 2021 and British Columbia has none.
Nationality test: None.
Work authorisation: A non-resident director attending board meetings does not require a work permit; board attendance falls within permitted business-visitor activity. Executive and interim operating roles require authorisation.
Tenure limit once appointed: No cap. NI 58-101 requires disclosure of whether the board has adopted term limits or other renewal mechanisms, and to explain why not if it has not.

How this works

Every seat here is applied for by a certified director.

That is the whole difference. A sponsor reading applications from this Exchange knows the pool has been tested — which is why the briefs are real and why an application gets read. Five steps, and the first three are free.

1
Register — free
Read every brief, every regime map and both tools. Nothing is hidden behind the paywall and nothing ever has been. You can apply straight away — one application a fortnight.
2
Sit the assessment — free, about 30 minutes
15 judgement questions on statutory duty, your functional depth and cross-border practice. Sitting it costs nothing and you see your band and a gap report either way — so you learn something about your own standing whether or not you go further.
3
Pass, and you are certified — free, for 12 months
There is no fee to certify. A certified member applies to board, interim and advisory seats, one application a week. That alone is more than most directors act on in a quarter.
4
Then, if you want the rate — Foresight InfinityUS$250 a month
Your application is collated, verified against your profile and carried to the sponsor every week instead of waiting out the seat’s priority period — and we search for you rather than waiting for you to look. Foresight Infinity Plus, US$500 a month, is carried first, the moment it is matched, with a document written for that seat and your score attached.
Monthly only — there is no annual term on either. One payment a month; nothing renews on its own.
5
Your certificate and your membership are not the same thing
The certificate runs 12 months. A membership renews every month. If you stop paying you do not go back to the beginning — you keep the certificate you earned and return to one application a week until it expires.
