Both countries tax worldwide income, but the top personal income tax rates differ materially. Canada: 53.53% vs Estonia: 22%. Both apply to all global earnings once you establish residency.
Canada and Colombia have Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) rules. Owning a foreign company as a resident may trigger local tax on undistributed profits - even if the company pays no dividends. The other country in this comparison does not have CFC rules.
