Got it.

Thanks a lot for you help.
I think this will be very helpful for several people in my situation.

Thanks for the clarifications.
Based on your explanation, i should file as follows:
16a. 9200. USD (that's 13000cad that I put in my rrsp prior to moving)
16b. -50$ USD ( about 75cad service fee my bank charged me when I withdrew + there was no interest paid or groth on the account)

Is that correct ?

Hello, In 2016, we made a withdrawal from our RRSP for an amount less than 10000 USD ( and closed the account ). we automatically paid 25% tax to CRA.

Thanks for the prompt reply Nelson. Can you please further explain the difference you meant between deduction and credit. I am sorry, I have an engineering background and i want to educate myself.

I was reading the 1040NR instructions and found the answer to my previous question: "Income that is not effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States for the period of nonresidence is subject to the flat 30% rate or lower treaty rate. No deductions are allowed against this...

Hello,

Another question..

I am filing dual status, currently working on the 1040NR for the non resident period.
Should I report my Canadian income in this form ? ( as foreign income ). I have a T4 for wages I earned in 2014 up to Aug. 31st.

[quote="nelsona"]You don't have any choice for the Cdn declaration. You left on a certain day, which is afact, and must file with that departure date.[/quote] Hi, Thanks again for the reply. Just to confirm the proper way of filing Canadian declaration. I should file as resident and declar...
