Frequently asked questions

Duration and Debt Discharge in Personal Bankruptcy

In Canada, personal bankruptcy lasts between 9 to 36 months for a first-time filer, depending on your income level. Unsecured debts like credit cards, payday loans, and unsecured lines of credit are completely discharged, while obligations like child support, court fines, and recent student loans cannot be erased.

 

Personal bankruptcy in Canada lasts between 9 to 36 months. For a first-time bankruptcy with no surplus income, the process is completed in 9 months. If you have surplus income, a first bankruptcy extends to 21 months. A second bankruptcy lasts 24 months without surplus income and 36 months with surplus income.

Bankruptcy completely clears most unsecured debts. This includes credit card balances, payday loans, unsecured lines of credit, tax debts owed to the CRA, and unpaid utility bills. Once you receive an absolute discharge, you are legally freed from any obligation to pay these specific creditors.

Bankruptcy only erases government student loans if you have been out of school for more than 7 years at the time of filing. This timeline is strictly enforced under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. If you have been out of school for less than 7 years, the student loan debt survives the bankruptcy.

You do not automatically lose your house in bankruptcy. Each province has specific equity exemptions that protect a portion of your home’s value. If your home has minimal equity, you can usually keep it by continuing to pay your mortgage. If it has significant equity, your trustee may require you to buy out that equity or sell the property.

Surplus income is the amount of money a bankrupt person earns above the financial threshold set by the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. If your total household income exceeds this government limit, you are required to pay 50% of the excess earnings into your bankruptcy estate, which also extends the duration of your bankruptcy.
