I am Canadian and I have decided to be a non-residence. What should I give up apart from my ID, health care, driving license and address?

Okay ... more information needed.
What is your citizenship? do you have citizenship elsewhere besides Canada? Where are you living at currently?
In order to be a non-resident, you would have to be living in another country other than Canada for more than 6 months a year. If you do not have citizenship yet with another country, then it is advised you do so if you are considering giving up your canadian citizenship altogether, which is not recommended.
In any case, if you are wishing to be a non-resident for tax purposes, you must be residing somewhere other than Canada. You cannot live in Canada, and be declared a non-resident.

I don't think you have to give up anything. You just leave and don't come back. Depending on which province you live in now you won't be eligible for health care after six months. Your driver's licence will expire eventually. If you don't own any property and don't work in Canada you'll stop paying taxes.

You don't have to make an application....all you have to do is move out of the country for six months or more and you are a non-resident.
Easy huh?....Bon Voyage.
