Get My ITIN — $99 →⏱ 4-minute read
Canadians are among the most active earners on US platforms — Upwork, Fiverr, Amazon KDP, YouTube, and US LLCs. But without a US ITIN, the IRS classifies you as an unknown foreign person and withholds up to 30% of your income — or blocks your payments entirely.
The solution is a US ITIN. And at $99, ITIN Plus is the most affordable IRS Certified Acceptance Agent for Canadians — no passport mailing, no embassy visits, 100% money-back guarantee.
Other services charge $297–$500 for the exact same IRS result. ITIN Plus charges $99 — includes W-7 preparation, document certification, IRS submission, and full support.
Canada and the US have one of the strongest tax treaties globally — zero withholding on royalties, interest, and most services for Canadian residents with a US ITIN.
The US and Canada have a tax treaty. Here's what Canadians with a US ITIN can claim:
| Income Type | Without ITIN (Standard) | With ITIN + Treaty |
|---|---|---|
| Royalties (KDP, software, IP) | 30% withheld | ✅ 0% |
| Independent services / consulting | 30% withheld | ✅ 0% |
| Interest income | 30% withheld | ✅ 0% |
| Dividends | 30% withheld | ✅ 5–15% |
| US real estate income (FIRPTA) | 30% withheld | ✅ File 1040-NR |
| Situation | Without ITIN | With ITIN |
|---|---|---|
| Upwork / Fiverr W-8BEN | No treaty benefit claimed | ✅ 0% on services |
| Amazon KDP royalties | 30% withheld | ✅ 0% with US-Canada treaty |
| YouTube US AdSense | 24–30% withheld | ✅ 0% reduced rate |
| US LLC distributions | IRS compliance risk | ✅ Properly reported |
| US real estate income | 30% FIRPTA withheld | ✅ File 1040-NR, claim back |
Your Canadian SIN can sometimes be used as a foreign TIN on W-8BEN, but a US ITIN is required to file Form 1040-NR, claim treaty refunds, and satisfy most US payers and platforms.
Many Canadians open US LLCs (Wyoming or Delaware) to access Stripe, US bank accounts, PayPal Business, and global payment processors. If you own a US LLC, you typically need:

Just $99 at ITIN Plus — the most affordable IRS Certified ITIN service for Canadians. Most competitors charge $297–$500. We include full W-7 preparation, document certification, IRS submission, and a 100% money-back guarantee.
Does Canada have a tax treaty with the US?
Yes — the US-Canada tax treaty is one of the strongest globally. Canadian residents with a US ITIN can claim 0% withholding on royalties, interest, and independent services, and reduced rates on dividends. Without an ITIN, 30% is withheld regardless.
Do Canadian Upwork freelancers need an ITIN?
Yes. Upwork requires W-8BEN from all non-US freelancers. With a US ITIN and the US-Canada treaty, Canadians can claim 0% withholding on service income versus 30% without an ITIN.
Do I need to visit the US Consulate in Canada to get an ITIN?
No. ITIN Plus is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent — we certify your documents remotely. Upload your passport scan through our secure portal. No consulate visit required.
Can I use my SIN instead of an ITIN on W-8BEN?
Your SIN can sometimes be used as a foreign TIN on W-8BEN Line 6, but a US ITIN is required to file Form 1040-NR, claim treaty refunds, and satisfy most US platforms. An ITIN is the complete solution.
