Line 1(a) of Form 1116 is where you report your foreign income. You qualify to treat the California tax on your foreign income as foreign tax paid, but the foreign income is the income from Canada, so that goes on line 1(a). The California tax paid on your Canadain income, along with your tax paid to Canada on that income, is reported in Part II of Form 1116.
