If you end up having to file for bankruptcy you don’t have to worry to much about your RRSP’s, these are considered exempt assets and as such there is very little impact on them. The only exception is for contributions made to this RRSP’s in the last 12 months, that is the portion of the investment that is lost when you file a bankruptcy.
