Why activities are so important?

To qualify as a charity, an organization must have purposes that are exclusively charitable and charitable activities that support those purposes. The purposes (also called objects) describe the aim or main intent of the organization. The activities describe how your organization will accomplish its purposes.

How to describe the activities?

When describing a charitable activity, keep the following points in mind:

what you want to achieve
how you're doing it – detailed plans
who the beneficiaries are and how they are selected any fees charged
frequency and length of the activity
involvement of employees and volunteers
how you maintain direction and control over activities and resources
other logistics (transportation, facilities, etc.)

What is required for the Name Approval?

The name must be submitted to Government for approval. This process involved:

Submitting a name request application to Government. 3 choices of names can be included per submission, if you don't 3 choices you can write the same name.
Government, they will check the availability of your Name and determine whether it is valid for registration
Once Government has processed the name submission, you will receive a Name Request Number (NR number) which is valid for 56 days.

What is a NUANS Report?

It is a computerized name search report generated based on a proposed corporate / business name or trade-mark from Government databases listing similar and conflicting names of existing business names and trademarks. To incorporate a Federal Corporation an appropriate NUANS Report is required.

Are there different type of NUANS?

Yes. There are 2 different kinds of reports:

A NUANS report for Federal and a NUANS report for each of the following provinces: Ontario, Alberta & New Brunswick.
The rest of the Canadian provinces have their own name approval processes and doesn't require a NUANS report. Examples of such jurisdictions are: B.C., Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland & Labrador, PEI, Yukon, they each require a name search report from their respective provincial database and registry and NOT from the NUANS database.

Why do I need a NUANS & name approval?

NUANS report is required for all named incorporations. NUANS report is a name search report which doesn't guarantee acceptance of that name by Government. We, along with the NUANS report do an analysis of the name so that it is acceptable for a corporation's name.
