Step 1 – Make sure you're eligible
To be eligible for Canadian citizenship, you:
  • may need to file personal income taxes for at least 3 years within the 5-year period

So even if you don't have any earning for the last 3 years you still have to file taxes

The notice of assessment (NOA) is calculated based off of the information you've submitted on your tax returns to CRA. You can expect your NOA to show up about two weeks after you filed your return, if you file electronically.

Are you sure that you are receiving NOA without filing taxes?
