I would appreciate any help you can give me.

non-profit corporation or incorporated association
for non-profit corporation see :
"Annual declaration Legal person" (2004)
http://www.crac.com/form/prov/decl_ann_pm_en.pdf (2004)
for incorporated association see
http://www.registreentreprises.gouv.qc.ca/en/consulter/reche...
and
"Declaration of registration Initial Declaration Legal person" (2006)
http://www.crac.com/form/prov/17_init_immat_pm_en.pdf
I only found one translation of non-profit corporation as opposed to two translations of incorporated association, but I think non-profit corporation is more commonly used in North America,incorporated association more commonly used in Australia.
P.S. you mention French as used in France, but as far I'm aware association personnifiée is only used in Canadian French. (Maybe a native speaker could confirm this ?)
