There is no difficulty with filing a bankruptcy and then relocating elsewhere. The only thing I would caution you of, is make sure you discuss this with your licensed trustee at the beginning so that you can develop a plan to complete the necessary counseling prior to moving.

As for filing in Canada if you work elsewhere, this is sometimes possible, but it is best to contact a licensed trustee in the Canadian city you most recently lived.
