Stumbled on this so I'll answer:
Don't keep your coins on Quadriga. You'll understand when you see posts of an exchange being inaccessible, going down, hacked etc.
Best wallet... Eh, hard to say. I love my ledger nano s for longer term storage. Safe, not fucked if you lose it (and have your keys backed up). Paper wallet is good as well imo, though it's more physically fragile. Up for debate, really depends on what you prefer though, both are safe. For apps I like electrum, but I only keep smaller amounts on there
No need to make a separate bank account. Banks gonna do their thing regardless. You're legal so its all good.
Uploading photos etc... Eh... Hard to say. I mean, you have to if you want to use those exchanges as per (Canadian) law. Equifax got hacked last year so even the main stream populace is at risk with those guys. I say you're fine - I've submitted my docs to a half dozen sites now.
