Principle residence

I have recently been struggling with a long divorce, loss of a job and resulting depression. I do not have any assets except a 1/2 share of an apartment in Germany worth about CAN $30.000 (my ex-wife owns the other 1/2). I live in Alberta right now, although after filing for bankruptcy I plan on returning to Germany and living in the apartment. I understand that in Alberta you are allowed an exemption of up to $40,000 for a principle residence. Would that exemption apply to my situation? Thank you
