This is a very complicated issue that you will need to discuss with a licensed trustee in your area. Technically the company can remain solvent, however, under the Business Corporations Act (both federal and its provincial counterpart) if you file a bankruptcy you are not eligible to be a director of a limited company. Furthermore, if your company is solvent, has any assets or residual value to it, this will be considered an non-exempt asset in bankruptcyand any value is going to have to be reflected on your Statement of Affairs and made available to the creditors (either directly or indirectly)
