F-1/OPT, some retirement $, moving back!

Dear all,

I moved to the US in 2007 for graduate studies. After graduating in May of 2009, I worked using my OPT and have now decided to move back home. I have some retirement savings (~$3K) and am wondering what my best option will be to transfer them to Canada. I'm broke and could use every $ I made/saved.

Also, are there other formalities I have to take care of being a student giving up F1/OPT and returning to Canada? I will notify my school so that they can make appropriate changes on SEVIS.

Thank you in advance for all your help!
