It's an IRS form. It tells the bank/broker that you are a Cdn and not an American. If they need it they will supply you with it, or ask you for it.

No, in that caseyou wil provide a W-9, informing them that you are a US taxpayer. You may be asked for this by both US and Cdn firms.

My understanding is that W-9 form is used to tell your financial institution to not withhold tax from 401k/IRA distribution as a US citizen living abroad.
