Procedures
The procedure for recognition and enforcement of a US judgment in Ontario is not automatic. A new lawsuit must be commenced in order to have the judgment recognized as if it were an Ontario judgment. For free information on the process see Procedures and Law for the Enforcement of Foreign Judgment in Ontario, Canada
Limitation Periods
A limitation period is a deadline for when a lawsuit must be started. There is conflicting legal authority in Canada as to what the limitation period is for an action recognizing a foreign judgment. Also, the time that the limitation period clock starts to tick will depend on a number of circumstances. Out of an abundance of caution it is strongly recommended that any lawsuit in Ontario for the recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgment be commenced within two years from the date the original judgment was rendered.
