Most of the people who file a bankruptcy in Ontario or an Ontario consumer proposal are good, honest, hard-working people who file an Ontario personal bankruptcy as a last resort after months or years struggling to pay the bills left over from some catastrophic event or set of circumstances. It can be because of a divorce, the loss of a job, a failed business venture, a serious illness, or some family emergency, or because the person honestly and mistakenly fell into debt at a young age before they knew better, and before they knew anything about budgeting or how to manage money.

Ontario's personal bankruptcy laws are designed to permit an honest but unfortunate debtor to obtain a discharge from his or her debts while treating creditors equally and fairly.

In 2009, more than 115,000 individuals in Canada filed for personal bankruptcy or filed a consumer proposal.
