In Canada, there are two main ways a lender can recover a mortgage debt when a borrower defaults: Judicial sale or power of sale. Judicial sale is a sale conducted under the supervision and authority of the court, where a lender must apply to the court to get the court’s permission to sell the property and lender keeps the equity. Power of sale allows a lender to sell property without the involvement of the court. The lender has the right to sell the property from the mortgage document and/or provincial legislation which authorizes power if sale in that province. |

The principal differences between power of sale and judicial sale are:
The extent of court involvement. There is virtually very small court involvement in the power of sale provinces, while in judicial sale provinces, the court is extensively involved: Ordering that the property be sold; Confirming the sale procedure after it occurs, and; Hearing any application for a deficiency judgment. The way in which the process is started. In power of sale provinces, sending a notice of sale to the borrower. In judicial sale provinces, a lawsuit against the borrower, and others who may be liable, starts the process. The way in which a deficiency judgment is sought. In power of sale provinces, a lender seeking a deficiency judgment must start an action against the borrower after the property has been sold. In judicial sale provinces, the deficiency judgment action is started as part of the main action, or suing, of the borrower.

Of the four provinces primarily practicing power of sale proceedings, only Ontario has accepted practice to list property for sale with a real estate broker. Lenders in Ontario may use power of sale or judicial sale procedures, but power of sale is used in 90% of all foreclosures. It is preferred because it is usually speedier and lest costly than judicial sale. To view detailed foreclosure proceedings in Ontario, click here.

Prince Edward Island asked it’s court to clarify the law relating to foreclosure and sale in the province, but the court declined to provide clarification between the two practices.
