no idea - in canada every province is different.

here you get (if I remember right without looking it up again)

$3000 equity in a car (you can have a $90,000 car just no more than $3k equity in it)
$7000 biz equipment (used auction value)
$4500 household furniture (used auction value)
all your pets
all your RRSPs/pension
6 months food
6 months fuel
family hearlooms

plus $1870 a month after tax and biz expensis till you are released from bankrupsy.

first time it was 9 months to 21 months depending on how you handle the 9 months which means most were released at 9 months - just changed to 21 for everyone.

you have to file an expense report of all income in and out every month while in bankrupsy
