A Court Enforcement Office in Ontario, also known as the Sheriff's Office, is a branch of the provincial court system responsible for enforcing civil court orders. 

In Ontario, when a landlord is granted an eviction order by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), the final step is the Sheriff's enforcement. This is an important moment in your journey to getting your house back.  Here is a snippet of my experience:

My eviction day, Part 9
On Monday, March 7, 2022 at 9.30am, the Sheriff came to evict my tenants. Sometimes, the tenants remain on the property and will be escorted out by the Sheriff and local police officers. In my case, the tenants had vacated the property a day earlier. Sheriff did a walk-through of the house. And then he gave that paper, to tell me that I now have vacant possession of my house! Because it was such a long battle, I thought this day would never happen.
