Applying to University in Canada
High school will soon be out for kids in the Bay Area and throughout the US. “College” list-making is in full swing for rising Seniors, who will be applying to university this Fall. Even Sophomores and Juniors (and their parents!) are thinking about life after high-school, including Canadian higher education options available to them. It can be difficult to navigate college planning in this country. But what about making plans for university in Canada? How does that actually work?!

The Digital Moose Lounge invites families to meet three adventurous young adults on our upcoming Chesterfield Chat panel. All of these 2nd year university students grew up spending some or all of their time in US schools before heading to Canada for university. Please join us for an open discussion and Q&A to find out why they chose a Canadian university, what they’ve enjoyed about their experience studying in Canada, and their tips for applying.

Join our host, David Stewart, DML Past Chair for an informative and engaging discussion with three GenZ panelists. David grew up in Canada and attended McGill for both his degrees. David relocated to the US for work and eventually landed in the Bay Area where he and his wife Margaret raised three wonderful children, He was unable to convince any of them to attend university in Canada. Special guest, Rana Sarkar, Consul General of Canada in San Francisco, and father of two, will share opening remarks.

The Panel: 

Sophia Renn (2nd year) is studying Natural Resources Conservation at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Her home is a short drive away in Gig Harbor, Washington. Sophia’s mom is originally from Canada. That made Sophia a dual citizen and also made attending university in Canada a reality.

Lauren McLaughlin (2nd year) is at Carleton University in Ottawa completing a Bachelor of Media Production and Design with a double minor in Film Studies and Women and Gender studies. Lauren’s parents are both Canadian. She grew up in San Diego, California and was interested in studying in her parents’ homeland.

Leah Csermak (2nd year) is at the University of Ottawa. She is currently completing her Bachelor degree in Human Kinetics with a focus on the social sciences. Leah’s childhood home was in Niagara Falls, Ontario before moving to Laguna Niguel, California with her family.
