For the Mailing Address section, it's looking for a Canadian address. Is there no way of using an international address?

If you don’t have a Canadian address, on the “Contact Information” page (Under "My Info"), answer “Yes” to the question “Is your mailing address outside Canada?”. Then you can enter a foreign address. The boxes will still ask for "Postal Code" & "Province", but you can put in whatever you need in those spaces, it will not give you an error if the info isn't Canadian. It will still ask for a phone number, but if you don’t have a US or Canadian number, you can just ignore that field, it is not mandatory.

 

If you have a friend in Canada who will forward your mail to your, then yes, you can use their address. But if it's not the same as the address the CRA currently has on file for you, you'll need to contact them before you can NETFILE. You can update your info through the CRA’s My Account service or by calling them at 1-800-959-8281.
 

FYI: If you are a non-resident, or a deemed resident you still won't be able to NETFILE your tax return. This CRA page has more info on who is eligible and not eligible to NETFILE: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/e-services-individuals/netfile-overview/...
