The CRA has reminded Canadian registered charities and registered Canadian amateur athletic associations that are incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act that the have till October 17, 2014 to continue to the new CNCA or face possible revocation of charity status in the event they are dissolved by Industry Canada. This message only relates to Federal non-profit corporations and not provincial incorporated charities.
The notice they posted on their website is:
“Important message for registered charities and registered Canadian amateur athletic associations incorporated under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act
