A person in financial difficulty can use the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act to declare bankruptcy.

Come meet us to complete the necessary documents to give effect to your bankruptcy. Only a Licensed Insolvency Trustee can file bankruptcy on your behalf.

Instruments and other objects necessary for the exercise of your profession or trade

RRSPs, except for the contribution made in the 12 months preceding the bankruptcy
