If a bankruptcy is filed a clients Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) is not protected and would be liquidated by the trustee for the general benefit of the creditors.

As for RRSP’s this is a little more complicated as it is impacted by both provincial and federal legislation. While I cannot comment on the provincial legislation (you will meed to consult with a local trustee for that). As for the Federal legislation, all RRSP’s are exempt except for the contributions made in the 12 months prior to a bankruptcy.
