hello,
I am currently working in the US and receiving a W2 from the company I work for. I live in Canada and commute to the US. I am in the US less than 183 days so I will be filing a 1040NR and filing my Canadian taxes. Currently the company withholds roughly 25%. How much of the withheld taxes will I be able to recoup when I file in Canada?
thank you in advance!

If you worked in US and made more than $10K, you cannot be exempted from US taxation on that income, regardless of number of days in US. It is only if you were working for a CDN employer in US for less than 183 days that you could make such a claim.
In any case, you need to file a 1040NR (and perhaps a state return) to figure ut your tax (not claim an exemption from tax).
You then use the tax on these returns (plus fica) as a credit on your Cdn return.
