Sign in to Trade, open the menu and go to Funding. At the top, it'll have Money and Accounts, Select Accounts and the second option for me is "Transfer from WS Invest" and when I click that, I can see my TFSA in Invest.

Crypto and taxes... the gov really needs to handle this properly. It's a mess.

You are right when it comes to trading crypto and US stocks

I'd also like some advice on a place to buy US stocks for a low fee and same with crypto.

I wouldn't go with WS to start but based on fees, but I see no issue with new people buying some coins on an exchange and staking them there to get used to it. Once they have amassed more, for sure, take control and move them out to a wallet you control. For new users to crypto, even moving coins between wallets can seem daunting.

Man, if this isn't the sign the stock market is bubble, I don't know what is.

This deal can also be stacked with referral bonus of no management fee for $10k for one year, which is roughly equal to $50 dollar (probably plus tax) if you deposit $10k for a year (management fee is 0.5% for first $100k).

How I did:
1. Register using that link
2. After registration, deposit $1000 and you’ll get $100 shortly
3. Ask your family/friend for a referral code, and redeem it under Reward. Your family/friend will also get their referral bonus.

Some notes:
1. This is for Invest account only; cash and trade are not eligible
2. You need to keep $1000 for at least 6 months
