Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you do need to file an FBAR because your Canadian account was over $10,000 during part of the 2017 tax year.  

Here are the Rules:

If you have a Foreign Bank Account you must report this on your tax return.  Every taxpayer must disclose whether or not the taxpayer had a financial interest, or signature authority over, a financial account or trust, in a foreign country.  If your answer is Yes, then this information is reported on Part III of Schedule B.

If the value exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year, then FBAR reporting is required.  See the TurboTax FAQ below.
