Your question is a bit unclear, but asa Cdn you can work in Canada as long as you wish, and as a TN holder you can work in US as long as you wish.

Filing 1040NR is fine if you are still a Cdn resident, or if you were not present in US for 183 days in the year.
nelsona non grata. Non pro. Please Search previous posts, no situation is unique as you might think. Happy Browsing :D
