Do I have to report my foreign earned wages that were earned in the foreign country? For context I have a small amount of income from Canada where I am a citizen and have part time income on the few days a year I go back to Canada.

Yes. The US requires all income be reported on your US tax return. If you pay any Canadian taxes on the income, however, you can deduct those taxes on your return.

That's true. You will enter them as wages under the same place that you enter a W2. Just when you're answering the questions about the income you'll check 'yes' for foreign employer, did not receive a W2, foreign income, etc. The system will walk you through it.
