IMO ....... It's total BS the info you have to provided to open a trading account. A trading account should be no different than a savings/checking account.
I'm in Canada and I recently opened up a 2nd trading account and savings/checking account with TD Canada Trust. The savings/checking...
When in doubt trade options on the QQQ (also look at DIA and SPY) - especially the weeklies.
Concentrate on about 10 stocks only - include FANG (FB, AAPL, AMZN NFLX, GOOGL).

No ...... I have no views on USD/CAD
If I needed USD now I would buy USD at todays exchange rate.
In 2 or 3 years buy back CAD at the going exchange rate.
#2 and #3 is based on your OP.
