The CRA provides numerous reminders to charities to file the T3010 Registered Charity Information Return. There used to be 2000 Canadian charities that did not file their T3010 and were revoked for non-filing. As a result of the vigilant system CRA has reduced the typical number of charities not filing their T3010 to approximately 600 per year.
According to CRA here are the reminders that they to registered charities provide:
