I think you are a little confused as when dealing with bankruptcy in Canada, there is no such thing as chapter 7 or chapter 13. These are American terms and are not applicable.
However, under Canadian laws, you are eligible to file for bankruptcy in Canada, regardless of being self employed or not. So the first thing I would suggest is for you to sit down with a local trustee and they will be able to explain how the process in Canada works.
