Step by step

Pick a broker that offers US-listed securities. Check that VCX shows up in its symbol search before you fund the account (table below).
Choose the account type (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA or non-registered). Confirm eligibility with your broker.
Get US dollars. VCX trades in USD. Compare the broker's currency conversion cost; a USD sub-account helps you avoid converting twice.
Fill out the W-8BEN form if your broker asks for it (standard for US securities).
Use a limit order. Closed-end funds like VCX can swing a lot in price, and the premium to NAV can change fast.
Check the premium to NAV first. You are buying a fund share, not Anthropic shares. Above NAV, you pay more than the fund's last stated value of its assets.
