Sponsoring spouse and consumer proposal

[Beebs]

For immigration sponsorship eligibility purposes, is a consumer proposal considered the same thing as bankruptcy? They are both covered under the same Bankruptcy Act, but aren't exactly the same thing...

I don`t think so.

With a consumer proposal your are willing to repay the amount you owe or at least certain part of it. With Bankruptcy you are protected against your creditors and most of the cases you don't have to pay them back. I`m My personal Opinion you shouldn't have any problem sporing someone under consumer proposal since is not the same as Bankruptcy but again i`m not an expert is just my simple opinion. hope it helps.


Good Luck.
