As long as you fulfill the residence requirements and filed taxes you are OK. You don't need to have any income.

You should still have been filing tax returns each year as a student. You may have missed out on tax credits you could have transferred to your husband if you filed jointly.

The Citizenship Act doesn't require you to file taxes if you weren't required to do so by CRA.
