About This Page

Canadian bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership records are maintained under the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and are searchable through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) and the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB). This page gathers the official portals for personal and corporate insolvency searches, unclaimed dividends, and related case law from CanLII.

Searches against the ISED bankruptcy database may carry a small fee; case-law reference on CanLII is free.
