T3010 "aggressive" response from CRA to non-received return...(it's 1 month late)

I just got an inquiry from a client as to why they got a note from CRA demanding a return and beginning revocation. File is an Aug 31, so due on Feb 29. (I actually provided it to the client well on time, and I suspect they forgot to sign and file.)

Usually, if CRA didn’t receive a T3010, they’d just send a “reminder” or an inquiry notice…this is pretty aggressive for a return that they wouldn’t even have assessed by the mailing date, had it been received on time. As this particular charity is subject to external audit anyway, they’ve never been late filing.

Anyone else seeing this?

They are getting more aggressive with charities. They start sending out reminders shortly after the year end reminding you of the consequences of being late. If a charity is late filing, CRA will definitely start the revocation process.
