Canadian Universities and ECs

<p>I know that Canadian Universities traditionally don't look at extracurriculars, but I heard from my friend that Waterloo is requesting essays, recommendations, and extracurricular info from the students... is this true??</p>

<p>I know for honors and merit scholarships they always require these things, however dun depend on them to look heavily on those.</p>

<p>this is true, but not essays</p>
