About Bankruptcy Canada

Welcome to Bankruptcy-Canada.ca, a trusted resource for Canadians seeking information and guidance on debt relief options. Since 2004, we have been committed to helping individuals across Canada navigate the complexities of debt management and find the solutions that best suit their needs.

Our Role

Bankruptcy-Canada.ca is an independent platform dedicated to providing reliable information on debt relief options and connecting individuals with Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs).

  • What We Do: We connect you with Licensed Insolvency Trustees, who are federally regulated professionals authorized to administer insolvency proceedings, including consumer proposals and bankruptcies.
  • What We Don’t Do: We do not provide debt relief services directly and are not affiliated with the Government of Canada. Our role is to facilitate connections and ensure you have access to trusted professionals who can help you explore your options.

Why Choose Us

  • Experience: With over two decades of experience, we understand the challenges Canadians face when dealing with debt.
  • Transparency: All our partnerships with Licensed Insolvency Trustees are fully disclosed, and our services are offered at no cost to you.
  • Confidentiality: Your information is handled with the utmost care and shared only with Licensed Insolvency Trustees to facilitate a consultation. We do not sell or share your information with any third parties.

How We Help

We collaborate exclusively with Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LITs), who are regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB). These trustees are the only professionals authorized to file consumer proposals and bankruptcies in Canada. By working with an LIT, you’ll receive expert advice tailored to your financial situation.
