Form W-9
I am a Vanguard investor recently moved to Canada. I am also a dual citizen of United States and Canada. Do I need to file a W-9 with Vanguard ? I am pretty sure I will make my primary residence in Canada but I still have a place I rent in the United States which is my address of record. Would be interested in others experience in this area. Thanks.

Re: Form W-9
Submit W-9 to your financial institutions outside US (i.e., in Canada). You will also need to file FBAR with US Treasury. Deadline is April 15th I think.
If you moved in 2021 you probably have to report in 2022 only.

My Vanguard accounts are with Vanguard in the USA. I have moved in late 2020. I am living on my Vanguard brokerage accounts from the USA. Do I still have until April 15th to file a W-9 ?

When you established Vanguard accounts in USA you must have given them your social security number for 1099. So, moving to Canada has no impact as you are a US citizen.
W-9 submission is for the new accounts you re going to setup in Canada (basically telling them that you're a US person; this is used for their reporting to US). I am pretty sure they would have asked for one see that you're a US person.
If you had total foreign holdings in excess of $10,000 USD (any day in 2020) you have to file FBAR with US Treasury. You can do it online.
