In Canada, getting a mortgage after a multiple bankruptcy can be very difficult, especially when a property was included. The first bankruptcy will disappear from your credit report 6 years after discharge (7 years in ON, QC, NB, NL, PEI). However, if you declare bankruptcy more than once, then each bankruptcy will appear on your credit report for 14 years post-discharge. In most cases multiple bankruptcy is easily apparent to mortgage lenders.
