I believe it's a 15% tax treaty between canada and states. yes you will pay two taxes.

be prepared to shell out some good coin for accountants canadian and us (Facet Advisors in Langley are somewhat affordable compared to say KPMG. Also a small firm named AmeriTax as well) - it won't be the diy turbo-tax shit.
