We noted a few months ago that “CRA recently revokes registered charity status of 2 large religious groups doing foreign activities“.

2) VAAD MISHMERES MITZVOS-COMMITTEE TO OBSERVE THE TORAH LAWS
Neither the CRA letters nor the charity's professional advisors submissions to CRA have been tested in court.
If you are interested in the rules around carrying out foreign or international activities you might find this directory on our website helpful.
