I’m a US resident alien and have been with Fidelity for about 3 years now. I’m gonna move to Canada next month and, to my surprise, Fidelity told me that they would restrict my account and not allow me to buy stocks/bonds/options/mutual funds as soon as I change my address. Previously, I was told this rule would only apply to mutual funds, but apparently they’ve changed their policy.
Long story short, I don’t want to give up my account. I have portfolio margin, free trades, custom commissions, and other perks I don’t want to lose. Since there are several services that provide a US street addresses to their customers, I was wondering if it is legal to trick Fidelity into thinking I still live in the US. To be clear: I would of course follow all tax regulations and file my US taxes as a non-resident alien living in Canada.
