The Notice of Assessment (NOA) is produced by Canada Revenue Agency after you have submitted your annual tax filing. It confirms that they have assessed your tax return and acts as validation that your income tax return numbers were correct and truthfully stated.

You will receive your Notice of Assessment by mail from CRA after your tax return has been assessed.  The printed and mailed version looks like this:
