Canada Patches is a registered nonprofit in Germany. Donations to recognized charitable organizations (gemeinnuetzige Organisationen) are tax-deductible up to 20% of your total income. You will need a donation receipt (Zuwendungsbestaetigung) from the organization for your tax return.

You can verify Canada Patches's charitable status in several ways. First, check the Zuwendungsempfaengerregister (ZER) at https://www.bzst.de/DE/Unternehmen/Zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation/zuwendungsempfaengerregister_organisation_node.html - the BZSt maintains this federal register of all organisations eligible to receive tax-deductible donations in Germany. Second, you can look up the association in the Vereinsregister (association register) at the local Amtsgericht (district court) via https://www.handelsregister.de/ - this confirms the legal form, registered address, and board members. Third, check whether the organisation holds the Freistellungsbescheid (tax-exemption notice) from its local Finanzamt - the notice is re-issued every three years and confirms the 'gemeinnuetzig' status under the Abgabenordnung. Legitimate charities publish this on their website or provide it on request.

You can donate to Canada Patches directly through its donation page (https://www.betterplace.org/de/organisations/63120-canada-patches). German charities typically accept SEPA bank transfer (Ueberweisung) to the organisation's IBAN, SEPA direct debit (Lastschrift/Einzugsermaechtigung) for recurring donations, PayPal, credit card payments, and online payment processors like Stripe or Mollie. Many German charities use platforms like betterplace.org, GoFundMe, or their own Spendenseite (donation page). International donors can give via SEPA transfer (Germany is in the eurozone) or PayPal. For your donation to be tax-deductible, you need a Zuwendungsbestaetigung (donation receipt) from the organisation - for amounts up to 300 euros, a bank statement showing the transfer is sufficient.

Canada Patches is based in Aberdeen, in Berlin, Germany's capital and largest city. Germany is a federation of 16 states (Bundeslaender). Charitable status ('Gemeinnuetzigkeit') is granted by the local Finanzamt and recognised nationwide - the organisation can solicit tax-deductible donations from donors anywhere in Germany.

★★★★★ First Class Product and Service

We had Canada Patch manufacture a company patch/logo for us. Very smooth process. Product was shipped Fed-X to our door, very professional. Clear communication and no additional charges or drama. We will certainly order from Canada Patch again.

★★★★★ It was a pleasure working with Canada…

It was a pleasure working with Canada Patches. They assisted me in creating my personalized patches and responded to all of my inquiries, no matter how strange. The finished patches were flawless.

★★★★★ For the new patches for our bike club…

For the new patches for our bike club Canada Patches was a huge help. We needed something durable that wouldn't break down after a few rides, and wow these things have withstood everything from beer spills at the clubhouse to highway speeds. The edges didn't curl the colors remained vibrant, and when I made a mistake with our order they quickly and easily fixed it. After viewing our ideas half of the men in our chapter have placed orders for their own unique creations.

Communication was amazing - Product FantasticOrdered some patches for my teams christmas party. They were communciating with me consistantly throughout the process making sure that I was happy at each step of the way. I will be using them again in the future for all my patch needs.

★★ Never informed that my design could not be produced at the size ordered

I ordered custom embroidered patches at 2" × 2" because they were intended for a knitted hat. During the design process we exchanged several emails discussing artwork details and revisions.I am writing this review of CanadaPatches.ca so other customers understand how my custom patch order was handled.What I only learned after receiving the patches is that the company claims the design could not actually be produced at that size due to technical limitations.The problem is that this was never communicated to me during the design process. Instead of informing me that they technically could not produce my patches at the size I ordered, they proceeded with the project and simply increased the size to just over 4 inches.If I had been notified, I would have had the option to:• Simplify the artwork so it could work at the requested size• Be informed of the size requirements needed to accommodate the existing artwork (I still do not know whether 4 inches was the minimum required for my design or simply an arbitrary size they chose)• Cancel the orderAs a result, I received patches twice the size I ordered, which cannot be used for their intended purpose. This size is even too large for baseball hats.What was particularly frustrating was the response I received when I raised the issue. Rather than acknowledging the lack of communication, the responsibility was placed on me for not noticing the size change in the technical proof. My focus during the proof stage was on the artwork revisions we had been discussing, and it never occurred to me that the entire project size had been changed without explanation.Another point worth mentioning is that although the company presents itself as CanadaPatches.ca, my order was actually shipped from Pakistan, which was unexpected given the branding and website name.A professional custom patch vendor should clearly communicate production limitations and provide options before proceeding with an order. Unfortunately, that did not happen here.Ba

Not a Canadian company.

I chose this company believing the good reviews, assistance with design, they are located in Toronto, Ontario and the patches would be made in Canada. It seems that they use AI to communicate, based on the way the responses essentially repeat what it thinks your current message said, without considering all the communication leading up to that. It was very frustrating getting help with design, you essentially have to do it yourself. They sent a proof showing dimensions of 3" x 4.5 " which is the required size, but the finished product was only 1.5" x 4.5". I paid $210 for 10 patches that do not meet the requirements. Refund request was denied. Attempts to get useful patches for this investment resulted in Emma telling me to stop reitterating the same points and if I want a patch the size I ordered I would have to start a new design for which they would give a good discount. There is no more money to spend on this. The best they would do to fix their error was stretch the image to 3" high, deforming the logo. The mutilated logo on the replacement patches angered the owner and got me fired. The worst thing of all is that I thought I was supporting Canadian business but the patches were made in Pakistan! THIS IS NOT A CANADIAN COMPANY.
