New to Canada and feeling overwhelmed by debt?
Starting over in a new country can come with unexpected financial pressure. Credit cards, car loans, tax debt, settlement costs, family obligations, or a sudden job loss can quickly become difficult to manage.
Many newcomers worry that filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy could affect their PR status, citizenship application, or future plans in Canada. The good news is that debt relief options are available, but it is important to understand how each option works before making a decision.
