CRA updates information on procedures for charity application

The CRA has announced “The Application review process Web page has been updated to reflect the new procedures we follow when an applicant does not respond to our request for clarification or more information.” CRA is streamlining the application system so that if an applicant who has provided an application that is missing information etc. does not respond within 60 days of the CRA requesting the additional information then CRA will close the file.  CRA will not deny the application (which one could appeal from) but just close the file.  An applicant can always put in another application the next day if they wish.
