A few comments:

1. First and foremost, I agree with the others. You plan is just bad (and rarely is there such uniformity of opinion on this site). It involves flat out lying on your application by omitting a college you have attended. Will you get caught? I don’t know. But if you do the ramifications will be overwhelming including (depending on when it is found out) revoking your acceptance, dismissing you from the college, and/or revoking your diploma for getting in under false pretenses. I would not want to live with that risk hanging over my head. Do you? Assuming you attend the Canadian university you will have to apply as a transfer student without question.

2. I’m not sure why you are dissatisfied with a “big name” Canadian university. It sounds to me like you hit the jackpot. I think your attention would be much better spent finding a way to make that school work for you, immersing yourself in college life, developing friendships, meeting professors etc. Do you have any idea how many people would give almost anything to be in your position and be lined up to get an excellent 4 year college degree?

3. And FWIW reapplying to the same set of schools that rejected you (if you do take a gap year) rarely works unless something extraordinary happened in the interim. Small tweaks to an application which still has a low SAT score are unlikely to yield a different result.
