for the 6 months that your family is here, you will be taxed on your foreign income in Canada. Once they leave, you can file a tax return indicating that you are no longer a resident and then you don't need to file any further taxes in Canada.

Get a good tax attorney familiar with expats taxation. The house in Canada is considered a significant attachment and might cause issues with non residency status. Keep in mind that having to file tax in Canada isn’t the same as having to pay tax in Canada.
