You can obtain more details by reading through the regulations of the Canadian Chartered Accounting Association but here is the process in general. If you are a member of the Association you must disclose that you filed an assignment in bankruptcy and/ or a proposal of any kind in writing. You may also need to attach related documentation. From there the Association will review your documentation and will make a decision about the nature of your license. It may be suspended or it may end up with some restrictions. Where you live and the circumstances may or may not be a factor in their decision.
