I have been told that applying to college is somewhat different in Canada. If you live in Alberta, you’ll probably go to University of Alberta, rather than going to Universty of Toronto. If you live in the Vancouver area, you’ll probably go to University of British Columbia. So people are not clamoring to go the the highest ranked school, like in America.

I have similarly heard that they go basically by grades and standardized test scores. And that they may actually look at just a few of your grades, in your intended field of study.
