There is nothing in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act that prohibits you from applying for (and receiving) new credit. You are simply required to tell the lender that you are an undischarged bankrupt.

In regards to student loans, you will need to check with the financial aid officer at the school you will be attending regarding the rules and regulations around student loans and whether or not you will be approved if you are bankrupt.

I can tell you that people have been approved in the past, but the decision is the lenders, not your trustees.
