Their main priorities are ensuring that you don't have a criminal history and that you are healthy enough that you will not pose a drain on their National Healthcare System. I can only speak for how debt works going from the U.S. to Canada. I would, however, assume that it would be even more difficult for other countries to pursue debts this way--especially if you're coming from overseas.

Part of the reason for that is that here in the U.S., many of our consumer protection regulations are federal – that is, they apply to all 50 states. Specifics such as the statute of limitations, etc., are determined by the states but most of its federal. <br /><br />In Canada, most major debt collection regulations are provincial. Each province has a different set of rules. You don't mention which province you incurred the debt in, what type of debt it is, etc. Either way, I strongly recommend you find a Canadian credit expert to answer this question. I just don't feel comfortable doing it because I don't have the experience with Canadian debt collection laws to back myself up.

Canada, for example, can turn down your permanent residency application based on chronic health problems because those issues would be a drain on the country's single-payer healthcare system. Because your foreign debts have no impact on the country you're moving to, I can't see how they would matter.
