Tax filing for 'zero" income and not lived in Canada

[Seeker16]

Hello,

I am Canadian citizen and I live abroad since 2022 March, I visited Canada though in Januray 2023 for 1,5 month. I have 0 income (seriously) for year 2022 and I am not planning to return to Canada anytime soon. I have no ties with Canada except passport, drive license and credit card, I haven't used my health benefit since 2019 as thanks God there were no reason to use it.
Is there there step by step guidance how should I file my taxes for 2022 and prepare myself for being non-resident for tax purposes in 2023. Or should file taxes as Non-residen for 2022 I am a little confused.
Thanks and regards
