Ameritrade Question on Buying Canadians

Question for any Ameritrade users. I was recently told by 3 different people at Ameritrade that you can no longer buy Canadian stock unless it has a 5-letter pink sheet symbol.

Before, they had a Canadian desk and I bought many Canadian stocks that didn't have an American symbol. So this must be a recent change, if it is indeed true. But you never know how much to believe from any rep.

Has anyone else experience this? It used to be they'd just call to Cannacord, and Cannacord would give Amtrd a quote in American dollars, didn't have to have a five-letter American symbol.

Have things changed at Amtrd and I need to move elsewhere?
