There is no "inheritance" taxin either US or Canada, so you have no worry on that score.
However, themoment the property became yours, you are now on thehook for any income it generates in both Canada and US. That woiuld include rental income, and/or capital gains it grwoth after you acquired it, when you sell.
Simply owning this property, so long as you do not make it yourpermanet home, will not make you taxable in canada on your foreign income.
