How about the interest T5 that I earned after moved to USA? There is no withheld tax yet. How should I report it to CRA and get the 25% withheld tax deducted?

No. Non-residents don't pay Cdn tax on interest, and it would was 10% not 25% in the past. Report it in US.
nelsona non grata. Non pro. Please Search previous posts, no situation is unique as you might think. Happy Browsing :D
