The new Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (CNCA) came into force October 17, 2011.  Federal non-profits have until October 17, 2014 to continue under the new act of face possible dissolution.  Industry Canada has placed hundreds of pages of information on the new act on their website in over 70 different documents.  We have tried to accumulate the information in one PDF document which is now over 500 pages.  For up to date information check the Industry Canada website.  We have also included for registered charities information from the Charities Directorate of CRA.  This document may be helpful because it is easier to save a PDF to your computer or laptop especially if you will not have internet connectivity.  Furthermore, one can word search (usually Control F) for words through the document.  This document is not comprehensive and in the future we may update it.

Here is the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (CNCA) Suitcase:

We will be providing additional information at GlobalPhilanthropy.ca.

At Blumbergs we have completed a large number of continuances for Canadian non-profits and charities.  If you would like assistance in your continuance please contact us for a copy of our billing policy.  While some continuances are relatively straightforward, others can be far more complicated.
