As Canadian, owning a house, considered a resident, all foreign income is taxable. Therefore, the taxes is irrelevant. I pay either way, until I sell the house, and the government gives me non-resident status, and we are talking years before it happens. Selling a house is not than simple, can take a long time too. Now that it is rented, there is a year left in the lease. I am not eligible for tax free salary, for at least years too come.

Sincerely
