This is what I have found out at cramagazine.com and it says you can apply for a non-residency if you rent your house to a third party:

Canadian Real Property and Canadian Residency for Tax Purposes
It is a common misconception that the mere ownership of real property in Canada causes one to be viewed as a Canadian resident for tax purposes by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Although the ownership of Canadian real property could be seen as a significant residential tie to Canada, there are steps that can be taken to mitigate this. For example, the real property could be rented to an arm’s length party at fair market value, preferably under a long term lease. By doing so, CRA should not view this as a significant residential tie to Canada when making a residency determination. On the other hand, leaving a vacant home in Canada available for regular and continuous use could send the message to CRA that an individual may be a resident of Canada for tax purposes. As well, renting the home to family members, or simply allowing family members to use the home rent-free is likely to send a similar message to CRA. If an individual is found to be a resident of Canada for tax purposes, he/she is taxed on worldwide income which could significantly increase world-wide tax liability.
