Leaving debt behind in Canada is not a criminal offence, and will only effect credit in Canada,
They have the right to seize any assets if you leave any, in Ontario they have 2yrs to contact you,
If they are unable to contact you the debt is written off, I know a few people that on purpose sent huge
Amounts of money back home and getting in debt in Canada with the intention of leaving!
Rubbish! Right thing to do!
There is a whole industry based on people defaulting on there loans! Most loans are insured,
No body personally loses out! Any losses are written against taxes, governments write of huge
Amounts of taxpayers money with out a second thought! I would say move on and don't worry about it,
Nobody's getting hurt!
Right thing to do = Morals, integrity
That simply means doing the wright thing even if no one is watching.
I know some people don't get what that means, which is why these things happen, and that's fine.
My advice remains here for those who get it

I'l remember that when I'm sat out side my villa in malta with $80,000 debt left in Canada
Havin a beer, wearing my $10,000 Rolex, life is so good!
I don't drink alcohol, i don't need a watch and not interested in going to Malta or owning a property there with money that isn't mine
. Living as a fraudster is something that would keep me awake all night, i'd rather sleep in peace.Material things go and come in life, what remains are your values and beliefs.
Anyway, to be honest i don't really care what you do it doesn't impact me personally in anyway.

Well-articulated. It’s because of people like above, such economies are in disarray.I don't drink alcohol, i don't need a watch and not interested in going to Malta or owning a property there with money that isn't mine

Here is what could happen to you if you skip out on your credit card debt in Canada: They will turn you over to a collection agency. Eventually, they might get tired of trying to find you and sue you in Canadian court. Because they can't find you, they get a default judgement against you, the interest skyrockets, before long that 20K doubles to 40K. They issue a summons for you to appear and confess your assets. But because you can't be found, the process server decides to just lie and falsely certifies that you were personally served with the summons to appear. You fail to appear and the court issues a warrant for your arrest. The next time you try to enter Canada, you are arrested at customs. Of course, none of that could happen and the statute of limitations could pass with no judgment being issued if they decide you aren't worth the trouble.
As to whether a Canadian judgement can cause you to be arrested in another country. That's up to the other country. It is possible for a judgment creditor to "domesticate" a judgment against you in another country, if they find you and that country has a functional judicial system.

It's still sort of theft and it's not right. If people are stealing like that "friend" and it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not, then other people are affected (by taxes, higher interest rates etc.) and in theory pay all that debt off for her. Saying that "no body loses out" is very wrong.
What you have said here is an over exergeration of fact... failure to pay a credit card or loan will probably not get that far...
A collection agency will likely get sold the debt and will try to collect...if that fails the end result will be the debt being written off as a bad and the insurance pays off because all debt is insured...
The effect of this is it will go on your credit report and that’s about the end of it....
Not paying debt is not a criminal offence in Canada....period....
No, it usually doesn't go that way. but its not like it couldn't happen. Not paying your debt might not be a criminal offense, but thumbing your nose at the court system could be. You are right that there are many steps that have to be taken before it gets to this point and it usually isn't worth it to a creditor to go that far, but that is cold comfort if you are one of the unlucky ones. If you have unpaid debts in the USA, then this scenario is probably more likely.
