Is the CDIC insurance applicable by account type? ie: 100k for a TFSA, 100k for an RRSP 100k for a RRIF etc within my trading account

But would CDIC consider dyn6000 an separate institution from your brokerage institution?
ie: 100k in my RRSP cash acct at investors edge and 100k in my RRIF held in DYN6000 would both be insured?

DYN6000 is a Bank of Nova Scotia deposit packaged as a series A brokerage ISA.
DYN6000 itself is always a non-registered deposit and is not a depositary type RRSP, TFSA, or RRIF. So, the separate CDIC coverage via different account types doesn't apply.
There would be separate CDIC coverage because the investment dealer RRSP, TFSA, and RRIF, each holding DYN6000, are different trusts.

For registered accounts, its like seperate coverage of $100k but due to account type as Norman said.
For non registered accounts, a combined total of $100k for all those types of accounts.

The DYN6000 in non-registered accounts at different brokerages could actually have separate CDIC coverages too because they are separate trusts.
Alice's DYN6000 held in a non-registered account at Scotia iTRADE could be held by Scotia Capital Inc. in trust for her. Her DYN6000 held in a non-registered account at BMO InvestorLine could be held by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. in trust for her. Different trustees, separate coverage.

Learn something new. But it depends on how the brokerage "hold" it in trust or not for Alice ? Or is it universally true ?
Not concerned about CDIC coverage for big 5, but good to know.

I think with most brokerage accounts that most Canadians use, it would be pretty difficult to not have your assets "in nominee name" or "in trust" or "in street name" or whatever phrase, rather than directly in your name. For things like stocks and ETFs, that's what lets the brokerage buy/sell (and loan out!) your securities easily. I think it is possible to actually get something directly registered, but it would certainly be a process.
Same with these ISA "deposits", you can assume that they are going to be "in trust", and different accounts at different brokerages are different versions of "you" for CDIC coverage purposes. The benefits of the multiverse without those bothersome hotdog fingers!
Also, a different "you" than "you prime" who might have accounts or GICs in the various registration categories with a bank directly, not "in trust" with a broker.

I think most brokerage accounts will highlight the positions are "segregated" which means they cant touch it such as security lending ? Or thats something else that has nothing to do with "in trust" or not ?
For example, at IB, once you sign up and agree to participate in security lending, they will depost "equivalent" cash amount into your account daily to cover the event the equities u have "vaporized" during sec lending process.

I think that whether or not there is an explicit "lending" program, securities at a brokerage are all going to be held in the same way, in "street name" for you, rather than directly. I think with the big brokerages if you have a margin account they are already potentially lending out "your" shares, although perhaps not with a non-margin account. It sounds like with IB they aren't unless you sign on for that, and they split the proceeds.
This would presumably not be an issue for things like an ISA, or even non-exchange mutual fund units, which would not be lent, although they are still going to be in trust in the brokerage's name.

Yes, it does depend on how the broker has placed the "units":
- In a nominee's name, in trust for the client or
- in the client's name with the broker as an agent for the client.
With #1, the broker also needs to disclose info to the CDIC member about the trust's beneficiary (the client) as required for "in trust" deposits.

Segregated doesn't necessarily mean held in trust.
New SRO rules allows segregation by in-client-name registration:
4313. Restricted and non‐negotiable securities
(1) Securities that are restricted, non‐negotiable, or that cannot be made fully negotiable solely by signature or guarantee of the Dealer Member are deemed not to be segregated, unless such securities are registered in the name of the client (or name of a person required by the client) on whose behalf they are being held in an acceptable segregation location.

I've never dealt with a "GIC broker" (as opposed to buying GICs directly or through a brokerage account like TDDI). My understanding is that a GIC broker generally deals in "client name" and for CDIC purposes it is the same as if you purchased the GIC directly, as opposed to getting the same GIC through a securities brokerage?
The GIC brokers are presumably typically part of the Registered Deposit Brokers association, rather than the Investment Industry association.

My experience with dealing with 1 GIC broker and 2 diff GIC issuers. Both GICs are registered under my name directly. The broker only act as an agent.
