There is a difference between you calling the credit card company and offering them a “proposal” and you going to see a trustee who will help you file a “consumer proposal”. A consumer proposal is a legal procedure whereby you offer to repay a portion of your debt. When you file a consumer proposal you need to offer to repay the greater of: (a) the amount you would be required to repay if you filed for bankruptcy, and (b) about 1/3 of your debt.
