Strange Behavior with int'l tickers

[lsharples7]

Hello,

Not an urgent issue just something I noticed and wanted to bring to your attention. I use this function to get sec filings for US tickers, and accidentally ran it on a few Canadian tickers today ("RY CN", "TD CN", "BMO CN"). To my surprise, instead of returning nothing (as these companies do not file 8Ks), I got a response containing other companies 8Ks- each of them returning the same 324 filings. Interestingly the tickers in the responses are affiliated with Canada but listed on the NYSE.
Again, not super urgent as I mistakenly came across this bug, just wanted to raise it!

Thanks for maintaining this great package!

Lilly
