Are you signed up for the app? Which is also in English? I believe going through that signup process will get you a Tradestation login. It's all the same company. There is a guide on the website for the app, if you cannot find it I'll dig into my files. Let me know. As mentioned a couple of posts b...

Advice 1. Just sign-up for both. You will not be actively trading in the NISA or idea, just buying and holding. So it does not really matter which one holds those accounts.

You are only liable if you remit in the same year as you have income, so the way to stay exempt is to not remit. If you are holding long-term in the TFSA, i.e. longer than the 5 year period you will be a non-permanent tax resident (NPR), then the only potentially liable income here is the dividends...
