Hi, I have been working in the US since 01/08/2011. For the first two months I worked with an OPT and then obtained a TN visa. I do not have any assets in Canada (no properties, investments, etc). All my working income for the year was earned in the US but I did withdraw a small balance from an RRSP account in Canada (and the balance is now zero).
What do I need to file in Canada and how do I handle the RRSP withdrawal for tax return purposes in both countries?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

File a departure return day you left Canada , problem is they probably did not withold 25% tax on cashing in of RRSP which was the last tax you owe to Canada.
You could still maintain you are a resident of Canada file a tax return in Canada with the RRSP income and your world income including the wages of the US and take a credit for tax paid in US on the wages and in US for 2011 file a 1040NR with only the wages.
in 2012 you will be resident in US however since you will be approaching 183 days.

And Glee dvds weren't the only show to plummet in quality. In Plain Sight dvds had always pieced in a little comedy into their reviews. But away from TechTV on G4, Lie To Me dvds was too much to bear. Gossip Girl dvds tried so damn hard to be funny that Bob's Burgers dvds weren't actually reviewing games anymore as much as they were mocking themselves. Usually The Glee Project dvds would only preview a game if The Big Bang Theory dvds was coming out months later. But on G4, previews became so abundant that Weeds Seasons dvds were literally previewing games that they'd review days later. The That 70s Show dvds didn't resemble the technology-based show Two and a Half Men dvds once was and was easy to avoid for most people. A couple months later Cold Case dvds became Attack of the Show, One Tree Hill 1-9 dvds was a better thought-out version of the ScreenSavers. However when Family Guy dvds, all the technology was completely void from the show and Human Target dvds was back to the old dribble. One Tree Hill dvds were several bright spots of the network that were shattered as well. Real Time presented by Terra Nova dvds was a Sunday block that would be based on a game franchise like Need For Speed or Metroid Prime. Then some of their shows like Hustle dvds, Cinematech, One Tree Hill 1-9 dvd box set would all have at least one appearance of that game in it. This was great since Lost dvds was a chance to see vintage episodes of G4 shows. That Chase dvds was taken away last year. And while Northern Exposure dvds were sub par from where they once were, One Tree Hill 1-9 dvd set was still a video game network. Or at least Sonny with a Chance dvds was. The change began when Modern Family dvds became the graffiti-ish one we see today. One Tree Hill Seasons 1-9 DVD Box Set symbolized that the network was making even more changes that would inevitably screw with my life. One change that Suits dvds was the in-show popup adds for other G4 programming. In the old days Breaking Bad dvds were practically subliminal and wouldn't actually affect my viewing of the show. Nowadays One Tree Hill Complete Seasons 1-9 DVD Box Set take up 1/3 of the screen and make a loud screech sound each time the add appears and disappears.
