I want to know that if I can keep the RESP account for my son if I am filing bankruptcy…is this exempted?

RESPs are NOT exempt from seizure when you file for bankruptcy, BUT instead of cashing it out, most trustees will allow you to pay an amount equal to the RESPs cash-out value instead. Ask your trustee about this BEFORE you file.
