So I got a bonsai tree recently but the person I received it from didn't know what species it is. I suspect it's a Chinese Elm but I can't be too sure. Some of the leaves are also brown and I was wondering if I should trim those leaves / branches or leave them to grow back when the tree gets more light/water etc because right now it seems very bare and weak.

It's also a stiff woody tree and not very flexible, is it possible to shape these types of trees with wire or no?

Yes, it looks like an Elm.
Leaves show sign of fungus, probably lack of light and too much watering. Dark humid warm places, with no wind (such as... indoors) will make it slowly die. If heater is on, then it will be a dark dry place, which is worse.

Thank you for the info! I live in Canada so I think it has to stay inside during the winter months. Do you suggest keeping it outside when the temperature goes above 5-10 Celsius?

Yes, it should be in a garage, a cold frame, protected from intense cold, but as soon as frost danger is off, should be outside. Yes, 10C is ok.

Do you think it could be a Sageretia theezans - which is a tropical that should not go outside if it's under 12 C.?

Could be, but her leaves are glossy, like an Elm.
To be safe, better take it outside when temperatures are above 15 degrees C.
