Plain-language definition
What does Discharged consumer proposal mean?
A consumer proposal in which the agreed obligations have been completed. Lender re-entry requirements remain product-specific.
Practical significance
Why it matters in a mortgage file
It matters because the cause, severity, recency and recovery can change lender category, pricing and required equity.
The exact treatment depends on the lender, property, borrower profile, transaction structure and governing documents. A term used conversationally may be narrower or broader than the meaning used in a commitment, registered charge, appraisal, insurer guideline or statute.
For the broader transaction framework, read Credit Assessment.
Underwriting perspective
How professionals apply the concept
In underwriting, discharged consumer proposal is not reviewed in isolation. The professional must identify the source document or policy controlling the term, verify the underlying facts, assess how it affects risk or qualification, and document any exception or assumption. For legal, tax, accounting or appraisal questions, the appropriate professional's opinion should control.
