Canada has a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States (Canada-US Tax Convention). Canadian residents typically qualify for reduced withholding rates on US-sourced income — often 15% on dividends and 0% on certain interest and royalties. An ITIN enables treaty benefit claims via W-8BEN and 1040-NR filing.
An ITIN enables you to submit Form W-8BEN with your treaty claim to US payers (Amazon, Google, Upwork, brokerage firms) and file Form 1040-NR with the IRS.
