Clarify your legal and repayment position
A bankruptcy discharge and a completed consumer proposal are different events. Keep the relevant documents and understand any continuing obligations. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can explain the insolvency process; this site does not determine whether a particular debt solution is appropriate.
Rebuild a sustainable record
Focus on current payments, a workable household budget and accurate credit reports. If a report does not reflect the documented status, use the correction process with evidence. Taking expensive new debt simply to create a credit history can undermine the recovery plan.
Avoid universal waiting-period promises
Lender and insurer criteria vary with the event, time elapsed, re-established credit, income and property. Ask a licensed mortgage professional for the actual requirements that apply to your situation. An advertised “mortgage after bankruptcy” product may carry substantial costs and is not automatically a suitable step.
A question worth asking
Does a discharge automatically qualify me for a mortgage?
No. The lender must review its current criteria and your full circumstances.
