Doesn't sound like it's wrong. I know it sucks, but that's pretty typical when you are self-employed and make more money for the first time. The biggest problem is the CPP on the self-employed income which would be close to $4000 of the $11,300. Most of my realtor clients just send in their total GST collected and then get a refund on their input tax credits when they file. And they usually also send in about 15% of their gross earnings just so they don't have this problem. They will give you a little leeway on your taxes and charge you interest at about 7%, but they will hound you to death about your GST if you are behind. Make sure you file it on time though so you don't get hit with the penalties.
Also be prepared for them to send you a nice little present in August requesting installment payments of about $5650 on Sept 15 and Dec 15 for 2011. They only let you go one year and then you need to pay along the way again.
