The advantage of being a registered charity is that you can give people receipts for their donations, which can then be used in claiming a deduction on their income tax. You can collect charitable donations without being a registered charity, but the money donated to a charity that is not registered doesn't count for the purpose of income tax deduction.

Does a charity have to be a nonprofit I want to start a charity. Legally does a charity have to be registered as a nonprofit or can it be registered as something else?

Legally, a charity typically must be registered as a nonprofit organization to qualify for tax-exempt status and receive donations that are tax-deductible for donors. While it's possible to operate a charity without formal nonprofit status, doing so limits fundraising opportunities and legal protections. If you're looking to start a charity, it's advisable to pursue nonprofit registration to ensure compliance with laws and maximize support.

If a charity is registered and has a charity number, it can then issue receipts for the charitable donations which it receives, and those receipts can then be used as the basis for income tax deductions. It is also possible to operate a charitable organization that is not registered, and therefore does not issue receipts, but which still engages in charitable activities.
