Has anyone filed a personal bankruptcy in Canada while an in-Canada Visitor Record application was still pending?


A friend is currently on maintained status with a Visitor Record application in process and is considering filing a straightforward personal bankruptcy for unsecured consumer debt.


We’re specifically looking for first-hand experiences:


  • Did you notify IRCC after filing?
  • Did IRCC ask for any additional financial documents?
  • Did the bankruptcy appear to affect the Visitor Record decision?

Legal advice is already being sought, but we’d also like to hear from anyone who has actually been through a similar situation.
