You can open an account. Not sure what the criteria is on opening an account on the Dutch side of the island. The French side abides by French/European Union banking laws while the Dutch side abides only by Dutch/Netherlands Antilles rules and regulations.

Yes, they are. Any cash must be reported on your taxes, though. Canada is getting tough with off-shore bank accounts. They aren't 'tax havens'.
Yes, you can open an account there...but I think you will have to pay atxes on them or something since it will be an off shore account!
Hope I helped!
