First time tax filing to US

[samsam]

Hi All

I was in Canada from Jan 13(visting India till Jan 13) to July 31st. As I got my green card, I enterted first time to US on Aug 1 2012 with wife and 2 kids. came back to Canada in 3 days. I joined US employer in Aug 2nd and worked from home till Nov 2 2012 from Canada(work from home).In between I traveled to US couple time for total 5-6 days. SInce Nov 3rd I am in US completely.
No visits to US at all in 2011,2010. In 2009 I was in US though on H1B visa till Mid August.
Till Oct 2012 end my wife was working for Canadain company while in Canada.

FOR US Tax filing purpose:
Seems like we will be filing dual status tax return?
As my days are less thena 240, seems like I cannot take standard deductions or filing 1040,right?
My understanding is we need "not" report Canadain income,correct?

For Canadain tax filing:
I got 2 payroll from US while I was working from home in Canada. Should I be reporting that income in Canadain taxes,right?
After Nov 3, when I moved to US(Informed CRA , closed licesnses, health incurance and all possible bank accounts) I do not need to report US income to Canada?

Please help! Appreciate your input!!
Thanks
Sam
