Depending on the double tax treaties that Canada has, it might be possible to be taxed in the other country. He should check that with a professional tax advisor. I have in writing a confirmation from the Ministry of Finance that for me it would be taxed in the second country, but I live in EU not in Canada.
Vacation is not valid and I never insinuated that. For EACH trade he should be in that other country, so vacation is excluded. Physical presence is mentioned in many double tax treaties.

Why would "you" be transferring anything from somebody else's bank account? This makes even less sense than before. What is your relationship with this other person?

I am physically in Canada
Then you will have probably a problem. You will be taxed normally.
Open an IB friends and family account and link the two accounts. No need to accept money so no legal minefield.
Can you further explain that please? How would you then take out the money from the broker?
