Thanks for your reply. So essentially I am filing the same return I would file if non resident, but also including foreign bank interest for the part of the year I was resident? I'm not sure about the benefits of full-year 1040 in our case (or even if it is possible). I'm not Canadian so my tax home...

That was my understanding too, but my employer has said that as I am a resident alien now they would continue withholding US tax for the whole year and I would have to get that tax back when I file my return.
