, A licensed trustee said:

Legally, there is no limit to how many times you can file for bankruptcy.

From a practical perspective, the Court seems to limit it to 3. Each time you file the process becomes longer and therefore more expensive. In Ontario if you file for a 4th time the Court will likely refuse to grant you a discharge.

You may want to look at filing a proposal instead…
