Acknowledgment of consequences of failure to comply with conditions

🍁 In Simple Terms

Before your money is accepted you sign a paper confirming you know the conditions and know that breaking any one of them means the cash is gone or the guarantee gets called in. You receive a receipt or a copy of the guarantee, plus a written copy of the conditions. Follow the conditions and an officer returns the deposit. Break even one and forfeiture happens automatically.

Affects: Foreign nationals and permanent residents in Canada
Legal Text: IRPR Regulation 49

(1)A person who pays a deposit or posts a guarantee must acknowledge in writing (a)that they have been informed of the conditions imposed; and (b)that they have been informed that non-compliance with any conditions imposed will result in the forfeiture of the deposit or enforcement of the guarantee.

Receipt

(2)An officer shall issue a receipt for the deposit or a copy of the guarantee, and a copy of the conditions imposed.

Return of deposit

(3)If an officer determines that the person or group of persons in respect of whom the deposit was required has complied with the conditions imposed, the deposit shall be returned.

Breach of condition

(4)A sum of money deposited is forfeited, or a guarantee posted becomes enforceable, on the failure of the person or any member of the group of persons in respect of whom the deposit or guarantee was required to comply with a condition imposed.
