Returning to Canada

Hey everyone
Hope you guys can give me some advice...

I've been living here in Miami for the past two years, I came here with my job.. My assignment here is over, and I'm ready to go back to Canada in July.
My question to you guys is this:

- During the last 2 years, I continued to file income tax returns in Canada as a resident (factual resident is the term I think they used to qualify me), continued to maintain my Ontario driver's licence, and also the plates on my car.. I didn't sell my home and continued to use that as my address whenever I was asked where I live. (also filed US tax returns but that's besides the point)

- My question is: Can I take advantage of the $10,000 import limit at the border? If they ask me to prove US residence the only thing I have is my TN visa that I have on a white cardboard piece of paper, and a health insurance card from blue cross and blue shield. I can also get a letter from my company saying that I was working for them in FL and now going back to Toronto.

Thanks in advance everyone, I would really appreciate your input )
