How long does bankruptcy last Canada?
What time you will be discharged bankruptcy?
Is this is your first time bankruptcy or is it your second or more time in bankruptcy?
Do you have a surplus income amount?
Have you given one or more of your creditors or your trustee reason to oppose your discharge from bankruptcy?
If this is your first bankruptcy with no Surplus income and nobody opposes your bankruptcy discharge application your
bankruptcy will last for 9 months.
This is your first bankruptcy. Can you do a surplus income and no one opposes your discharge your bankruptcy will last 21
months.
If this is your second time in bankruptcy, and you do not have any surplus income is not eligible for a bankruptcy
discharge for 24 months.
However, you should consider if there is something in your pre-bankruptcy Affairs that will give rise to someone opposing
your discharge.
Example if the reason for your second bankruptcy is the same as your first time your trust me will be bound to oppose your
discharge. If you are a second-time bankrupt, and you do have Surplus income, then you will not be eligible for discharge
from your bankruptcy for at least 36 months.
Again, consider your free bankruptcy conduct to estimate the likelihood of opposition.
Case of an opposition either by one or more of your creditors or by your trustee then becomes a court process.
I discharged hearing will be scheduled in court.
The timing is driven by the court process.
If your bankruptcy discharge is being opposed you would be wise to consult with a bankruptcy lawyer.

After some further discussion it became clear that what the person was really asking was two questions as follows.
