Ontario used to have grade 13 up until a few years ago. Now students sometimes aren’t able to take all of the credits that they want in the 4 years of high school, so they do 5 years and call it grade 13 or a victory lap.

OP. doing 2 years of community college and then transferring to university is popular in the States because of one reason: money. Community college in the states is much less expensive than university. Also, university in the states in much less specialized than in Canada. So, they often take a couple of years to do general studies, with a range of courses, like high school. If you were to study psychology in Canada, most of your courses would be in your major.

There are several universities in Ontario (and Canada) which are just as good as or better than major US universities. What is your end game? Forensic psychology requires a PhD. Which country do you plan to get that in? Which country do you plan to live in once you finish?
