Tax impact when leaving Canada to live in USA

I just got my green card and would like to move permanently to the USA. I am selling my home but still have the following assets:

- RRSP
- RESP
- Bank Accounts
- Life insurance

I was told as long as you sever all ties (Residence, driver license, OHIP card, credit cards, membership cards, etc ...) and change accounts to be non resident accounts I should be considered as a non resident for Canada taxes purposes. Is this correct?

Thanks for helping me clarify this.

I would appreciate if someone shares their experience on this. I was told I could keep RRSP and Life Insurance with foreign address but I am not sure. The Canada Revenue web site is very vague (probably on purpose).

Thanks
