I am Canadian in the US on a F1 Visa. I will be filing 1040NR for 2005.
I did my CPT over the summer and instead of sending me a W2, my
employer sent me a 1099-MISC, for $10K.

I believe that Article XV of the Canada-US tax treaty exempts $10K from taxes. 

Is Self-employment income (reported on Schedule C, via 1099-MISC)
protected under Article XV of the Canada-US treaty?

I was going to fill out Schedule C, but then report 0 on 1040NR and
claim a $10K exemption due to treaty. Is this right?

Thanks for all your help!
