Bankruptcy is a legal process governed by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act for a person who can no longer pay back debt. The person who owes the debt assigns all assets — with some exceptions which are governed by Provincial legislation — to a trustee in bankruptcy who sells the assets that are not exempt to help pay your debt to the creditors.
Consumer Proposal
A Consumer Proposal is a formal offer by a debtor to creditors. This may include an offer to pay a percentage of the debt, pay back the debt over a period of time (maximum of 60 months), or some combination of both.
This option is available to individuals whose total debt does not exceed $250 000, not including debts secured by their principal residence.
Division I (Commercial) Proposal
A Division I (Commercial) Proposal is a formal offer by a debtor to creditors. This may include an offer to pay a percentage of the debt, pay back the debt over a longer period of time, or both. Unlike a consumer proposal there is no limit with respect to how much money is owed, nor is there a limit to the number of months that you may choose to make in your offer to make monthly payments.
