Taxes differ by jurisdiction. In Canada, keep a record of every transaction you make while you use P2P trading: date, amount, fee, and counterparty. Most local tax offices accept a simple spreadsheet.

Withdrawals deserve a dry run. Send a small amount first, confirm the network, and check the address character by character. A single wrong character is the most common cause of lost funds.

Security comes before convenience. Enable two-factor authentication, review active sessions, and make sure the email and phone attached to the account are ones you control in Canada.

Most users in Canada follow the same path: create the account, verify identity, then choose a funding method that matches your local currency. The sections below break each step into small actions you can complete in one sitting.
