The company I work for owes me 8 paychecks. What does the legal process look like for getting these wages paid to me, including if the company files for bankruptcy, as Ontario.ca indicates the directors would be personally liable.

Owed wages claims are within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Labour. You will want to make a complaint ot the Ministry of Labour for unpaid wages. In the event your employer becomes bankrupt, the Employment Standards Act, as well as many business corporations acts, provide for personal liability of directors of a corporation for employees ‘wages’.
