Q&A
1. What is the Nonprofit Organization Registration Service in Canada?
Answer: This service helps individuals or groups register a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) in Canada. It includes federal or provincial incorporation, bylaws, CRA business number application, and ensuring your organization is legally established and tax-compliant.
2. What’s the difference between an NPO and a Registered Charity in Canada?
Answer: An NPO operates without profit, but it does not automatically receive tax exemptions. A Registered Charity is a special status approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), allowing it to issue donation tax receipts and enjoy full tax-exempt benefits. The charity registration process is more complex.
3. How long does the process take?
Answer:
NPO incorporation: typically 4–8 weeks
Registered Charity status: CRA approval may take 3–6 months or more. We currently do not support applications for Charity.
4. Can I apply by myself? Why use a service?
Answer: While it’s possible to apply yourself, the process involves legal and tax complexities. Mistakes can result in rejections or costly delays. Our experts ensure everything is compliant, saving you time and stress with a higher success rate.
