nelsona,

I am using ufile.ca to do my canadian tax return, and where it asks for my emigrant date it also asks for the amount of money i made while not a canadian resident. should i fill that in or leave it blank?

The purpose of this is to determine whther you are eligible for the full 'personal ammount credit' or a pro-rated amount. This is known as schedule A.
You are only eligible for the pro-rated amount since you are not including your US wages on your actual return. So whether you fill it or not will not change your return. If the software complains, fill it. It has no impact on your Cdn taxes.
nelsona non grata. Non pro. Please Search previous posts, no situation is unique as you might think. Happy Browsing :D
