I called the CBSA's Border Information Service (BIS) number and they confirmed that I would indeed by a visitor.

Referring to this document: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d2/d2-6-1-eng.html I see:

  1. Similarly, non-residents are persons who, in the settled routine of their life, make their home, reside, and are ordinarily present in a place outside Canada.

That seems to apply to me. I will be checking "Visitor" on my customs declaration.

I am not sure about this but your resident status can be found by calling CRA. Do you have a valid health card, driver's license, or any property in Canada? If so, CRA probably deems you as a resident.
