i'd start here - why will you still be a canadian resident? having ties doesn't matter as long as the stronger ties are within the US (residence, job, bank accounts, your day to day life) - i'm very surprised that you are remaining a canadian resident for tax purposes, unless you don't want to realize an unrealized gain on a major asset or something, this seems like bad thinking

feel free to PM me. staying a canadian resident for tax purposes will just be a headache for you, and really provides you no benefit.
