You may want to double check with your family’s immigration attorney whether leaving the country while in the green card process could create any issues for your process, and whether there are any restrictions on leaving the country for an extended period of time after getting green card status. I’m a Canadian who moved to the U.S. as an adult, eventually got a green card, and now have dual citizenship, and I recall there being rules about travel during my process (but can’t remember the rules, and in any case they may have changed). I raise this only with respect to the idea of going to school in Canada or elsewhere outside the U.S… I do second the notion of Queen’s providing a smaller university environment in a charming town (I’m from the area and went there). It is well-regarded by U.S. grad schools, and is much less overwhelming than U of T or UBC (both wonderful schools). Good luck to you! I’m sure you will have many options to choose from.
