Get in touch with an accountant. I'm pretty sure you can get most of it back due to some kind of tax treaty between Canada and the US.

Canada has no tax treaty. But you can use recover service or file on your own

Correct. If you need the name of a good accountant, PM me and I'll give the contact info of my guy - Russ Fox. He's excellent (and posts here occassionally as well).

The treaty is called NAFTA.
