Hello,
We are dual citizens and planning on returning to Canada mid 2018 and become CAN Resident. My wife and I own rentals in FL and wondering what the tax implication if we sell before leaving the US vs. after leaving the US and becoming CAN resident.

Once you are Cdn residents, all your assets are sold/bought for Cdn tax purposes, so you would be on the hook for Cdn tax only on whatever gain you made after moving (minus expenses). Canada would then give you credit for any US tax you paid on that small, if any amount.
So you would want a good appraisal on any property you still held when you moved.
For US, you would have normal taxes to pay regardless of when you sold.
