Estonia is not going to cut it. I assume they work like your government would for tax purposes and your government can just say it's a Canadian company because you own it and supposedly there is not much more substance in the Estonian company. If you had a director, an office, a few employees, regular board meetings in Estonia that could work.

Unfortunately you need trust in this situation. A trusted friend with a company you don't own paying taxes in another country, taking a cut and sending you the profits very frequently would be my choice. I did just that for friends a few times (for tax reasons though), sometimes holding out the money for a long period of time while they moved to more favourable tax jurisdictions.

You can setup a contract between his foreign company and your canadian company and send invoices - albeit that won't afford you that much protection if he decides to run away with the money (hence why you want to transfer the money frequently).

I wouldn't trust a stranger with this, to avoid getting scammed but there is an entire industry around frontmens and some players should be reputable enough to be trusted.

You don't want to.

Not the same thing.

It's all about priorities.

Depends how much you want it mate. Btw would love to chat more about your bot, contact info in profile.

E-stonia Eresidency is not enough. That just makes it easier to get EU banking.

Someone else’s id and rental agreement is though, for this purpose. These are either directly purchasable on a DNM (darknet market), or something you can ask for

Woooorst case you need to deep fake live on webcam, this is consumer grade tech even open source now

Acquiring and using the ID This might violate laws

Anyway.

VPN from the expected country all the time, or Tor+RDP (remote desktop) from a compromised computer close to the postal code of the ID which can also be found on an RDP DNM

Hacker. News.

So when Bitmex asks for the information of the owners of the corporation, what do I tell them? How do I prove that I am a real person who resides outside of Ontario without committing fraud? ... or actually residing outside of Ontario which would prevent the need for the shell corp in the first place?

Unfortunately I don't know anybody well enough who lives outside of any of the banned jurisdictions to trust them with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of crypto currency.

If I get caught lying, Bitmex can literally liquidate all of my positions and essentially steal my money. Not sure about the others but I imagine it's the same. They're all trying to save their own skin, they don't care about me at all.

Not saying it's a bad idea, I just don't see how it would be any different than the UK corporation I already setup.
