What you keep: Bankruptcy Exemptions 

Some people are afraid that declaring personal bankruptcy will mean losing all their assets. However, many personal assets are “exempt” during a bankruptcy. Exempt assets are the ones you are allowed to keep. In addition, there is a federal exemption for RRSP's, please contact your local Deloitte bankruptcy trustee for information as to the specific RRSP exemption rules in your province.  Every province has a different list of exempt assets. Take a look at these lists to see which assets you can keep in your province or territory.
