Studying Engineering in Canada

<p>Perhaps those who posses more knowledge about the subject could help me out in determining which Universities should I investigate or look out for.</p>

<p>Keep in mind the following:
- I am Peruvian. However, I do posses a Canadian passport, and am pretty sure I can acquire the nationality (my mother is Canadian).
- I am on the second year of the IB Diploma programme, taking
Physics HL (predicted 7)
Chemistry HL (p6/7)
Math HL (p6/7)
English A2 HL (p7)
Spanish A1 SL(p6)
Geography SL (p7)
My predicted diploma grade hovers between 40 and 45.
- Money is somewhat of a problem. I'm not poor, but paying for university will involve some sacrifices in my family.</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars are not precisely my strong suit, but I have been the Lead of an Operetta produced by the school (pretty major I think), choir, Basketball Squad (I am absolutely no good, however), service activities such as aiding in various poor/rural areas of the country and Spokesperson of the Common Room Committe, which is basically a rather uninteresting role of responsiblity.</p>

<p>I've been doing research on the Universities I've heard the most about, such as McGill, Toronto and British Columbia. However, I would greatly appreciate some guidance on some facts I might not be aware about of the process.</p>

<p>I have not ruled out studying in the US, but I am setting my sights on Canada because of the advantages it provides in terms of my particular situation.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Go to McGill, you'll love the latin/french atmosphere, and Montreal is cheaper than Toronto. UBC has better weather, but you might get into the Montreal winter (skiing, city fun.) Also Mcgill is about 3 times smaller than UT, it's more intimate without being too small (23,000 students)</p>
