If you live in Canada and meet the two main criteria for bankruptcy (see Can I go bankrupt in England from Canada) you can file bankruptcy in England as a couple.
The main thing to understand is that there is no such thing as a joint bankruptcy apart from the fact that both bankruptcies would be presented to the Court at the same time. When a person files for bankruptcy there is always an individual set of paperwork for each person. There is also an individual Court fee of £700 per person.
Both bankruptcies would be handled together by the Official Receiver, as when a couple file for bankruptcy there is normally a joint income and expenditure; in most cases the two people will live in the same household.
