Before leaving Canada, I have asked my financial advisor about this. He told me the best person to speak about this would be Deloitte Touche (will be expensive) or just book an appointment with H&R Block. I was considering to talk to H&R Block , but never got that time. :)
But,I still think you can keep the house and filed for a non-resedency if you rent the house to a third party. I think you will need to serve 18 months waiting period before applying for a non-residency. To me there is no way I will sell my house, we have lots of memories in there.
