How you deal with this depends on how much it costs you to live in comparison to hwo much you will be earning at your job.
I sense from your comments you’d like to deal with thsi quickly (ie pay back as little as possible of this debt), but I can’t give you that kind of advice without knowing a great deal more about your situation.
You have the right to file for bankruptcy – the cost will depend literally on how much you are going to earn and it will definitely deal with the debt (even the taxes).
If you are earning enough, you may want to consider a proposal – a payment plan where you repayu a portion of the debt (yes, even the taxes).
If you are making quite a good salary you may simply wan to contact the government and apply to the Fairness Commission to have the interest and penalties on you taxes reduced (due to your health issues) – maybe you can afford to repay the debt in full without resorting to one of the other solutions.
I know I haven’t answered your question – use the links to find a trustee in Toronto and I’m sure they will provide you with more information.
