Question by SALEEM: Is the declaration of bankruptcy in Canada “confidential” information?
Sounds like a strange question however I am wondering if in Canada (Ontario specifically) – if a person was to declare personal bankruptcy, can this information be found out from official sources? For example, if a not-for-profit Charity has a clause that its Senior Directors can not be in office if they have declared personal bankruptcy, and one has a “thought” that one of the directors is in this situation but he does not want to reveal this fact for personal reasons, is there a source one can go to find out if the person has claimed bankruptcy?

Absolutely it is public information. If you seek to have your debts absolved, you can’t expect to do so privately.
