It can still go to collections and show up on your credit report, where it will stay until 7 years after you finally pay it off.  So if you plan on ever getting a loan for anything, you should pay things like this.

I don't live in Canada, however, I would imagine they would/still could fine you. And even more so if you don't pay the fine, then you'll pay penalties and interest.

I know that country under you enforces fines given in states other than your home one.

I am pretty sure that's whats up.

I live in california and my friend got a ticket and he didnt pay it and a few months later he got something in the mail saying he had to pay $800 or he gets his license suspended...he originally had to pay only $132 or something like that. So I dont think you want to be put in that position.
