RSU awarded in Canada vested in the USA

Hi,

I am a Green Card holder, I moved to the USA a couple months ago from Canada. I am planning on filing as Dual-Status Alien. While in Canada, my employer awarded me some RSUs, and some vested after I moved to the US. My employer prorated the amount subject to taxable income based on how many days I spent in the US between the day stocks were awarded, and the date they were vested, and reported the rest as canadian income.

My question is: does the amount of the RSU income reported as Canadian is liable as foreign-earned taxes in the US? Or is it considered to be income from before I moved to the US, and then is not liable because I'm filing as dual-status (i.e. I was not US resident at that time)?
