mmm i applied to foreign institutes… one thing about ottawa is they want to limit u in terms of research opporunities… the people who are researching will only allow certain undergraduate students to work with them… high school students here in ottawa, hard to get research unless ur high school has IB program and connections lol… or if u live in toronto (and go to like University of Toronto schools)…

I got internship after coop to… i did coop in neurosurgery at the hospital… i do have OR opportunity so i started researching in that aspect… i’ve written an abstract etc… and i continued an internship at my hospital and 3 hospitals abroad where i was awarded certificates of distinction…

I come from a slightly financial disadvantage family… my dad is the single income and he works for the government… supporting a family of 5 (3 kids who wanna go to university) is hard…

The internships helped me a lot… i got to go all expense paid super fun!
