In Ontario, the general limitation period is two years beginning from the time that the judgment creditor discovered, or could have discovered using reasonable diligence, that the judgment debtor possessed assets in Ontario.  For other provinces and territories of Canada, this period generally varies from one to two years.

In Ontario, there is a ten year limitation period from the date the award was made, or, where there was a proceeding to set aside an award, 10 years from the date on which the proceeding concluded. For other provinces and territories of Canada, this period generally varies from one to two years. It is important to seek legal advice promptly as this law is evolving in Canada and failure to enforce within the applicable limitation period will bar enforcement.
