In Ontario you are not permitted to have retain any equity in your house. So if you file for bankruptcy the equity must be dealt with. As such you are best to contact a local trustee and ask them how this type of situation would be handled. From my perspective it suggests you may want to consider filing a consumer proposal as opposed to a bankruptcy to try and protect this equity, but you will have to discuss whether or not this is possible with the trustee you contact.
