Is there a way to get historical fundamental data for Canadian stocks from Fidelity like the US stocks. For example I want Power Corp fundamentals which trade on the TSE , the yahoo ticker is pow.to.

Please ask Fidelity regarding their data - they should know for sure.

If the symbol(s) is/are recognized by MSN, you can install MSN Fundamental Data for Securities and try there.

For Fidelity, it's POW dot CA (POW.CA), not POW:CA.
For MSN, it's CA:POW (i.e. Canadian symbols are prefixed with CA:)

Assuming they're present in the data (of which I'm not sure, so you need to check it yourself), you can access them just about the same way as with Fidelity fundamental data. In code-based strategies (see FundamentalDataItems in the QuickRef), dividend items are named "Dividend (MSN)". In rule-based (see "General fundamentals"), MSN fundamental items are equally accessible.
