Guide

What happens to gift cards when a company goes out of business in Canada

When a Canadian store chain files for creditor protection, a court order decides how long its gift cards still work — often about two weeks. What happens after that, and to deposits, refunds, points and bookings, drawn from the 20 retail chains that went to court since 2023.

Guide

What to do when a company that owes you money goes bankrupt in Canada

When a Canadian company that owes you money goes bankrupt or into creditor protection, what you actually get back is usually a fraction of the debt, often nothing, and only if your claim is in on time. How to find the case, file a claim, meet a bar date, vote on a plan, take back goods and get paid, drawn from the court record.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
