As for whether or not you can keep your house. This is really up to the lenders and doesn’t have much to do with the filing of a proposal as they have to be willing to continue to provide the financing. While this isn’t likely to be a problem immediately the difficulty you will encounter is when the mortgages come up for renewal. When these mortgages are renewed you will have to qualify for a new mortgage. This qualification process is based partially on income, partially on cash flow, partially on credit rating, partially on relationship with the bank and partially on your debt to income ratio and various other financial ratios.
So it will be a challenge to get a new mortgage.
